Gosset Champagne Brut Grand Millesimè 2012

The epitome of complexity, aromatic richness, finesse, freshness and harmony, this "Grand Millésime 1999 Brut", with its aristocratic allure and unquestionable breeding is perfect with food and can be enjoyed throughout an entire meal. Ready for drinking, it is a marvellous match for modern, traditional or regional French or Asian cuisine. It complements almost any kind of dish, with the obvious exception of those with excessive acidity or bitterness. There are innumerable possibilities but why not try scallops roasted with preserved lemon and lime blossom or snails in choux pastry with parsley spiked cream, a carpaccio of red tuna with aubergine caviar or rolled fillets of baby turbot stuffed with soya beans and crab; pigeon stewed in juice fragranced with lemon leaves or a farm-raised veal chop with potato petals and light meat juices? For dessert try a semolina and almond pudding or crisp caramelized pear biscuits… There is just one thing to remember when deciding on a match: opt for a creative, well-balanced dish that will complement but not mask the flavour of the wine.
