The iconic champagne from the magnificent Gosset Champagne House. Gosset Champagne was founded as early as 1584. It was founded by Pierre Gosset, the alderman of Ay at the time. In the mid-16th century, Champagne as a sparkling wine did not yet exist. Still wines were already being produced at that time. This makes Gosset Champagne the oldest winery in the Champagne region, but not the oldest Champagne house. It wasn't until the mid-17th century that the monk Dom Pérignon accidentally discovered the sparkling wine Champagne. When this proved successful, many wineries, including Gosset, switched to producing Champagne, and not entirely without success.
The vineyards around Ay
Gosset is located in Ay, a renowned village in the Champagne region. With well-known neighbors like Ayala, Bollinger, Deutz, and Louis Roederer, it finds itself in excellent company. It currently also has a site in Epernay, which has increased its champagne production to well over a million bottles per year. The house's most prestigious champagne is Gosset Champagne Celebris Vintage Extra Brut. It is a vintage champagne, made from grapes from a single harvest year. This champagne is only produced in exceptionally good years and is therefore a true rarity in our collection.
An impressive piece of craftsmanship
Gosset Champagne Celebris Vintage Extra Brut is a blend of two key Champagne varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The process of creating this vintage champagne from Gosset is incredibly complex. Before the bottles are released from the cellars, they spend at least 10 years aging in the impressive cellars in Ay. However, you get a lot in return. Gosset Champagne Celebris Vintage Extra Brut is extremely dry with only 5 grams of residual sugar per liter. This leaves plenty of room for distinctive aromas and flavors. Complex notes of pineapple and yellow fruit are clearly discernible. A rich and pure palate tickles your taste buds. A true masterpiece that other champagne houses envy.
