Gosset Grand Millesime 2012
Chardonnay 67%, Pinot Noir 33%
Vinification and traditional aging on lees avoiding any premature oxidation. Malolactic fermentation carefully avoided in order to preserve the naturally fruity aroma of the wines and to ensure perfect conservation.
Gross dosage (8 g/l) to maintain the balance between freshness, fruitiness and vinosity without masking the character of the wine and its purity.
A very fresh and expressive initial nose blending an assortment of flavors of white-fleshed fruits such as pear, peach which develops into grapefruit and even anise and liquorice.
The very fine and fleshy palate retains an extraordinary lightness throughout with aromas of small stone fruits such as plum, mirabelle and especially pear, followed by aromas of citrus fruits such as orange and pink grapefruit.The wine expresses very good length with a saline finish.
About Gosset
Established since 1584, Gosset is one of the smallest Grande Marque Champagne producers. Whilst the champagnes that they produce have never been plentiful in quantity, they have distinguished themselves with the consistently superb quality throughout the entire range of champagnes produced. Remaining a family owned house, the Gosset family sold the business to the Cointreau family in 1994.
Starting with their flagship champagne, the superbly aged Grande Reserve multi-vintage, it is clear that they have sought to exceed all standards required by the region. Firstly, and most strikingly, the presentation is remarkable in heavy dark antique bottles that are unique to Gosset. Instead of aging this champagne for 3 years on lees before bottling, Gosset have aged this blend for four and half years.
