The Oldest Wine House in Champagne
The history of the Gosset family goes back five centuries to Jean Gosset (1484-1556), "Lord of Aÿ and Mareuil”, who was the first official ancestor in the lineage. The origins of "Maison Gosset” itself date back to the year 1584 when Pierre Gosset, Lord and Alderman of Aÿ, decided to set up a négociant business.
16 generations, all of direct lineage, have continued to build upon his work in Aÿ-Champagne and ensured that Champagne Gosset’s savoir-faire, based on the family’s traditional craftmanship, lives on.
GOSSET GRAND MILLÉSIME 2015
The majority of the blend is made up of Chardonnay, which creates finesse and elegance, while the Pinot Noirs add fruitiness and structure. 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.
Appearance
Pale yellow hue, indicative of great freshness, with delicate bubbles.
Nose
Dominated by fresh aromas of fennel and star anise preceded by a touch of mint. As the wine warms, it reveals luscious aromas of poached pears, nougat and almonds.
Palate
Elegant on entry to the palate. A bouquet of fresh fruit - mirabelle plums, rhubarb and Reinette 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.
