The color is golden with emerald reflections and particularly fine bubbles. The nose is fresh, with a hint of menthol spicing up the fruity aromas of pink grapefruit and frangipane. The attack is clear and fresh with a touch of lemon. On the mid-palate, the wine evokes a range of gourmet aromas: apples baked in salted butter, tarte tatin, far breton ... This subtle complexity is enhanced by a spicy touch of candied ginger and star anise. The long, tonic and mineral finish evokes fresh pineapples with a touch of citrus.

“Gosset's 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs Celebris is showing beautifully, offering up aromas of crisp stone fruits, ripe pomelo, buttery pastry and flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise palate with a racy spine of acidity and a mouthwateringly chalky finish.”
