The property

The oldest champagne wine house with a history dating back to 1584, the Champagne Gosset House has a well-established and unique identity, recognizable notably by the shape of its bottles, a legacy of the "antique" flasks used in the 18th century.

The vineyard

The Gosset House owns a beautiful Champagne vineyard bringing together the best Grands Crus and Premiers Crus from the Marne.

The wine

The Gosset champagne cuvée 12 years of cellar a minima Brut Antique Range stands out from the other cuvées of the Gosset range by its extended maturation time. Stored in the cellars of the Gosset House, this champagne has thus benefited from a long rest in bottle of at least 12 years on lees.

Vinification and aging

The Gosset champagne cuvée 12 years of cellar a minima Brut Antique Range underwent traditional vinification and aging on lees to avoid oxidation. Malolactic fermentation was not carried out in order to preserve the aromatic expression of the fruit. This champagne, dosed at 7 g/l, thus presents a very beautiful freshness in the mouth, the bright sparkle of the fruit and a vinous structure without losing anything in purity.

Blend

Pinot noir (51%) from Aÿ, Louvois, Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzy and chardonnay (49%) from the terroirs of Avize, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Villers-Marmery.
