winemaker's notes:
Aromas of pear and honeysuckle perfume the bouquet. This is a beautifully balanced champagne with a long, expressive finish.
Gosset only uses juice from the first and best pressing of grapes, and unlike most other producers, initial fermentation is still carried out in small oak barrels. Riddling and disgorgement are performed by hand. Significantly, and in contrast to virtually all other houses, Gosset Champagnes do not undergo a malolactic fermentation, resulting in a heightened acidity, slower maturing wines and that inimitable Gosset style – powerful and full-bodied, of unrivaled richness and staying power – in other words, some of the world’s most legendary Champagne.
this is the one of the best champagnes. ever.
It has become my favorite champagne and hopefully it will be more readly available in the States in the near future.
Very accessible champagne. Not too bubbly, goes down very smoothly. Light citrus notes, not overly sweet, much better than Moet, Pommery, Veuve, Pol, etc. Extremely drinkable!
