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. A blend of three different harvests, composed entirely of grapes from Grands and Premier Crus vineyards. Aged approximately 5 years in a bottle prior to release – an unusually long period for a NV 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. Vibrant and fruity on a lightweight frame, this Champagne sports dough, mineral and grain notes, ending in a dry, refreshing way. Drink now. Rated 89 Wine Spectator |
