Gosset : Coffret Grand Blanc de Blancs 2 Flûtes et 1 Bouchon

The vibrancy and richness of a Blanc de Blancs Champagne showcased in a travel-ready gift set

The estate

Heir to traditional know-how, the Maison de Champagne Gosset has been perpetuating its style through the centuries. The Gosset family has been established in Aÿ, a Grand Cru of Champagne since the 16th century. For 16 generations, Maison Gosset has upheld this excellence, whose guardian today is Odilon de Varine, cellar master and deputy managing director of the house. The house's champagnes are particularly recognizable by the shape of their bottle, a legacy of the “antique” flasks used in the 18th century.

The vineyard

Maison Gosset owns parcels on the Grands and Premiers Crus of Champagne in the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. Its approximately 140 hectares of vineyards are planted on the crus of Cumières, Courmas, Chamery, Avenay, Vertus, Villers-Marmery, Grauves, Avize, Trépail and Cuis.

The wine

Produced from leading vineyard sites in villages of the Côte des Blancs and the Côte des Noirs, this Grand Blanc de Blancs from Gosset is the perfect expression of the complexity and aromatic richness of Champagne’s terroirs.
