The ultimate definition of a prestige cuvée. Scents of vanilla, mocha and honey combine with accents of hawthorn and violet. Production Technique: 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. Winery Description: Founded in Ay Pierre Gosset in 1584, Gosset is one of the smallest producers of luxury champagne, but what it lacks in volume it amply makes up for in quality and prestige. 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. Smooth and harmonious, this seduces the palate with its ripe pear and fig notes and lush texture. A real joy to drink, all the way to the long, cherry-tinged aftertaste. Drink now through 2004.
