WINERY Champagne Gosset produces dynamic, textured cuvées that reflect their sourcing, primarily Grand and Premier Cru vineyards. By following a winemaking philosophy that minimizes inputs beyond what the grapes provide (e.g. no malolactic fermentation), the winery continues a family legacy of excellence that started in 1584, making it the oldest wine house in Champagne.

WINE Grand Millesime is a vintage-dated, brut-style cuvée crafted to spotlight an exciting aspect of a particular vintage using Gosset’s minimalist winemaking philosophy.

A vintage Champagne is a snapshot of the growing year and this is a vintage viewed through the filter of the Gosset style. 2015 was an excellent year for Pinot Noir. To create an elegant and distinguished Champagne, we selected plots where the Pinot Noirs were particularly fresh and fine. The Chardonnays were chosen for their vibrant and aromatic character.

A blend with a majority of Pinot Noir, creating fruit and structure, complemented by Chardonnay, which provides a fresh, elegant finish. Bottled at the end of the spring following the harvest. The dosage is adjusted with precision to preserve the balance between freshness, fruit and vinosity without masking the wine’s character and purity.

Pale-yellow hue flecked with green. The first nose expresses fresh aromas of fennel and star anise preceded by a touch of mint. As the wine warms, it reveals luscious aromas of poached pears, and almonds. Elegant on entry to the palate. A bouquet of fresh fruit – mirabelle plums, rhubarb and 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.
