Gosset Grand Millésime

Champagne Gosset based in Aÿ is the oldest wine house in Champagne (1584). Since 1993, the business has been in the ownership of the Cointreau family. Gosset are the proud owners of Grand Cuvée vineyards and source their grapes from a network of growers in Premier and Grand Cru vineyards. The Gosset wines are matured for much longer than legally required, which, along with the suppression of malolactic fermentation, helps to create the wines’ distinctive depth of flavour.

Dominated by fresh aromas of fennel and star anise preceded by a touch of mint. As the wine warms, it reveals luscious aromas of poached pears, nougat and almonds.

Elegant on entry to the palate. A bouquet of fresh fruit – mirabelle plums, rhubarb and Reinette apples – then emerges, offering a lovely density on the mid-palate. The finish is well-honed, fresh and wonderfully tart. The fine bitterness that is the hallmark of the Grands Crus contributes to the elegant character of this wine.
