Champagne Gosset
CELEBRIS Brut
A fine wine before a fine Champagne. CELEBRIS was created in 1993 by former cellarmaster Jean-Pierre Mareigner, building on an idea by Albert Gosset. This cuvée, which represents the best of Champagne Gosset, was first sold in 1995 as a 1988 vintage. It quickly gained recognition alongside other top champagnes. The 2012 vintage marks the 9th Gosset Celebris in the past 35 years and is a testament to the exceptional quality and freshness of the fruit.

A bright golden color with small, clear bubbles. The aroma is of fresh pears and citrus, including sweet oranges and grapefruit. As the Champagne warms up, it starts to smell like delicious pear and almond pie. This Champagne is wellstructured, with depth, tension, and a nice density. On the palate, we taste citrus and vanilla, which then develop into flavors of gooseberries, raspberries, and yellow-fleshed red cherries. The finish is long and salty.

“The 2012 Brut Celebris is one of the most polished Champagnes I have tasted from Gosset in some time. Plenty of energy and acidity have long been signatures of this prestige cuvée, but a bit more meat on the bones keeps the wine from veering into the realm of the excessively austere, as was sometimes the case in the past. Dried lemon confit, chamomile, white pepper and salt all race across the palate. I very much admire the energy here”

“Gosset's emblematic Chardonnay-dominant 2012 Extra-Brut Celebris is a more than worthy successor to the 2008, unwinding in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, verbena, freshly baked bread, green apple and wet stones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and incisive palate that's layered, concentrated and tensile, with a tangy spine of acidity (the house's trademark) and a long, saline finish.”
