Gosset : Grande Réserve

A Gourmet and Generous Brut Champagne

The Property

Inheriting a traditional know-how, the Champagne Gosset House perpetuates 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, the Gosset House has perpetuated the excellence of which the guardian is today Odilon de Varine, cellar master and deputy general manager of the house. The champagnes of the house are recognizable notably by the shape of their bottle, a legacy of the "antique" flasks used in the 18th century.

The Vineyard

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

The Wine

Developed notably from the terroirs of Aÿ, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Villers-Marmery, the Gosset Grande Réserve cuvée is the signature of Gosset's "subtle and racey" identity.

Vinification and Aging

Traditional vinification and aging on lees. No malolactic fermentation in order to preserve the naturally fruity aromas of the wines. The dosage is 8 g/liter and the aging is a minimum of 3 years in a cellar at a constant temperature. The disgorging is a minimum of 6 months.

Blend

Chardonnay (45%), pinot noir (45%), pinot meunier (10%).
