Gosset Brut Grand Millésimé Champagne 2015

About This Wine

Gosset is one of the oldest and most respected Champagne houses, founded in 1584. The house is renowned for its traditional and uncompromising approach to winemaking, which is particularly evident in its vintage offering, the Brut Grand Millésimé.

A key element of the Gosset style is the avoidance of malolactic fermentation. This practice helps to preserve the wine's natural acidity and a vibrant, crisp character, which allows for extended aging. As a result, the Brut Grand Millésimé is known for its remarkable purity, intensity, and longevity.

Typically, the blend is dominated by Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards. The specific proportions vary with each vintage to best express the character of that particular year. On the nose, you can expect a complex bouquet of white flowers, ripe stone fruits like apricot and peach, and hints of toasted brioche, almond, and honey from its extended time on the lees. On the palate, the wine is elegant and structured, with a fine, persistent mousse and a backbone of fresh acidity. It offers flavors of citrus, orchard fruits, and a distinct minerality, all leading to a long, clean, and saline finish.

The Gosset Brut Grand Millésimé is a Champagne for connoisseurs, built to age and evolve, rewarding those who are patient with a depth and complexity that is truly exceptional.
