Tasting Notes & Experience

A luminous pale gold Champagne with an expressive nose of lemon meringue pie and Mirabelle plum. As it opens, deeper notes of ripe plums, blackcurrant, and honeyed toast emerge. The palate reveals volume and generosity, with the structural backbone of Pinot Noir and fine floral tones of hawthorn and white blossom. Lingering elderflower and citrus create a poised, elegant finish of persistence and finesse.

Craftsmanship & Story

Founded in 1584, Champagne Gosset is the oldest wine house in Champagne and a benchmark for artisanal precision. Its Grande Réserve exemplifies the house’s unique philosophy: no malolactic fermentation, allowing pure fruit and crisp acidity to shine. Sourced from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards, each varietal contributes harmony — Pinot Noir for structure, Chardonnay for freshness, and Meunier for fruit. Aged at least four years on lees, it reflects depth and timeless craftsmanship.

Special Features

The hallmark of Gosset’s style is its tension and vitality, preserved through traditional methods that highlight freshness over softness. With precise dosage and extended lees ageing, Grande Réserve offers a sophisticated, dry expression — rich yet balanced, ideal for both aperitif and fine dining experiences.
