Champagne Gosset
CELEBRIS Extra Brut
In 1993, former cellarmaster Jean-Pierre Mareigner decided to pursue a project that had originated with Albert Gosset (15th generation, 1915-1991) — a prestige cuvée that would represent the best of Champagne Gosset. Thus was born CELEBRIS, a 1988 vintage cuvée, sold for the first time in 1995. This cuvée is the culmination of the Gosset style and immediately joined other high-end champagnes in its class. The great aromatic complexity and beautiful finesse that distinguishes this wine mean it can be paired with the most elaborate dishes.

A deep yellow color illuminated by fine and abundant perlage. The nose is floral with touches of white acacia flowers, jasmine, and mimosa. There are also fruity notes of pear and mirabelle plum. The bouquet is rich and heady, vinous but airy. The mouth is characterized by marked pastry aromas: pear cake, vanilla madeleine, biscuit with a spoon, sabayon…The end of the mouth is long and saline.

"A graceful Champagne, showing a sense of finesse to the detailed intersection of bright, buoyant acidity and chalky minerality, with a fine, satiny mousse and flavors of ripe Asian pear, dried white cherry, salted almond, lemon curd and crystallized honey. Long and mouthwatering on the creamy finish, echoing spice and saline notes."
