Description
Brut Champagne, produced by Gosset in the Champagne region of France. Blend: 45% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir, 10% Pinot Meunier. 0.75L bottle. A Champagne that celebrates the tradition and excellence of one of the oldest Houses. Aged for a minimum of 4 years in the cellar. The nose displays freshness and fruit, with notes of lemon meringue pie followed by yellow fruits such as Mirabelle plums. Then, as the Champagne warms, aromas of plum begin to emerge with slightly honeyed and toasted notes. Bright golden yellow. The Champagne confirms its richness and volume. The Pinot Noir gives it structure and depth. The aromas of hawthorn and white flowers blend naturally with a fine acidity supported by the citrus.

Only the first pressings, also called "cuvées", are used for blending to make Gosset Champagne.
Some growths undergo their first fermentation in oak vats, to achieve their concentrated aromas and exemplary finesse. These vats are marked with the seal of the house of Gosset, as was done originally by Claude Gosset, alderman of Ay in 1630.
The first fermentation is never followed by a malo-lactic fermentation, which inevitably causes a loss of freshness, and this ensures that Gosset champagnes keep better.
The Gosset blends are made from the best growths of the Marne (Grand & Premier Crus), with an average of 95% on the official scale of growths.
All Gosset Champagnes are aged in bottles laid on slats in a deep cellar at a steady temperature. They are disgorged after an average of 5 years of aging, when they reach their peak.
Manual remuage (turning of the bottles) is still carried out at Gosset, and precedes the disgorging which is carried out in the traditional.way.
Before being shipped, Gosset Champagnes rest several months in the cool calm of the Gosset cellars.
All bottles which carry the Gosset collar contain a great Champagne, exclusively created by the house of
Gosset at Ay-Champagne.
The great growths are sold in an "old-style" bottle identical to that used by Jean Gosset, another Ay alderman , this time in the 18th century. It is unique and instantly recognisable the world over.
