Grande Réserve Brut - Champagne Gosset
Champagne Gosset
92/100 Parker & Wine Spectator
Cellaring: 2021 - 2031
By William Kelley on September 23, 2021: "Aromas of orchard fruit, pear and apricot, mingled with notes of fresh bread and pastry, introduce the latest version of Gosset's NV Brut Grande Réserve, a medium-bodied, fleshy but incisive wine that is deceptively generous but also structured to reward some bottle age."
- Comments from Chef de Cave Odilon de Varine: "This is the signature of the house. It is the expression of the Gosset style that has been perpetuated for over 30 years.
- Traditional vinification and ageing on lees to avoid premature oxidation.
- Malolactic fermentation is carefully avoided in order to preserve the naturally fruity aroma of the wines and to ensure perfect conservation.
- Raw dosage (8 g/l) to maintain the balance between freshness, fruitiness and vinosity without masking the wine's character and purity.
- Aged for a minimum of 3 years in the cellar at a constant temperature, much longer than the legal minimum of 15 months.
- The colour is bright and golden. The nose is marked by freshness and fruit. The Chardonnay brings the delicacy of yellow fruits such as peach and mirabelle plum. On the palate, it asserts its volume and generosity. The pinot noir of Aÿ gives it its structure. The hawthorn and white flowers blend naturally. The acidity is carried by the citrus fruits.
- Food and wine pairing : Champagne is by nature an "enabler" because it is both tender and tense, smooth and assertive. A double personality that elaborate dishes meet with simplicity and happiness. Various tapas, farm poultry, oysters, scampi, comté cheese, parmesan cheese...
- Blend : Chardonnay 45%, Pinot Noir 45%, Pinot Meunier 10%.
- Cellaring: 2014 - 3 years minimum
- Disgorgement: minimum 6 months
- Villages: Aÿ, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Villers-Marmery...
- Dosage: 8 g/l
- Serving temperature: 8°/10°.
