Champagne Gosset Champagne Brut Grand Blanc de Blancs

Champagne Gosset Brut Grand Blanc de Blancs is a 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs from Gosset — the oldest wine house in Champagne, founded in Aÿ in 1584 — golden yellow with delicate green tints and very fine bubbles, both mineral and floral on the nose, harmonious and crisp on the palate.

Gosset is considered by many collectors and connoisseurs to be the world’s preeminent name in luxury champagne. The house’s reputation for excellence starts on the vines: its champagnes are composed almost entirely of grapes from Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. Unlike most Champagne producers, Gosset purposely avoids malolactic fermentation and always performs riddling and disgorging of prestige cuvées and large-format bottles by hand. The wines are kept in deep cellars for at least three years before release.
