  • Tasting Notes

    • The color is bright and golden, the nose open and expressive, and the palate is dominated by a refreshing mineral tension.

      “This is the true signature of the House. An expression of the Gosset style, which I  have been maintaining for 30 years.” Jean-Pierre Mareigner, Cellarmaster

      Suggested Serving Temperatures: Between 8 C and 10 C (46 F and 50 F)

      Suggested Pairings: This champagne is the perfect accompaniment to mild and subtly spiced dishes with cooked fruit, sweet/savory dishes or tajines. A blend of three vintages, the Grande Réserve Brut is adaptable by nature — from apéritif to dessert.

Reviews

  • Grande Réserve Brut — Non Vintage – Wine Enthusiast – 92 Points

    “Ripe fruits balance the crispness while some bottle age has allowed the acidity to soften.” 

  • Grande Réserve Brut — NV – Wine & Spirits – 90 Points

    “Notes of green apples and citrus meet a raw bread dough yeastiness and bubbles that scrub the finish. Pour it as an aperitif with poached prawns.”

  • Grande Réserve Brut — Non Vintage – Wine Spectator – 93 Points

    “A spine of chiseled acidity structures this vivid, creamy Champagne, which has a minerally underpinning of smoke and brine and flavors of Asian pear, baked pineapple, lemon curd, toasted brioche and roasted almond. Should pair well with grilled fish.” 

  • Champagne Gosset Grande Réserve Brut — Non Vintage – The Wine Advocate – 92 Points

    Aromas of crips orchard fruit, pear and apricot, mingled with hints of fresh bread and pastry, introduce the latest release of Gosset's NV Brut Grande Réserve, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy but incisive wine that's deceptively generous but also structured to reward some bottle age.
