Description
The Cuvée Celebris Vintage 2007 by Maison Gosset is composed of 57% Chardonnay and 43% Pinot Noir. It is the Cuvée de Prestige of the Maison, made exclusively of grapes from vineyards classified Premier and Grand Cru from the villages of Vertus, Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Verzy and Trépail for the Chardonnay and from Cumières, Avenay, Aÿ, Bouzy and Ambonnay for the Pinot Noir.
Traditional vinification without malolactic fermentation, maturation for over 10 years with a final dosage of only 3 g/l – making it an Extra Brut.
The Cuvée Celebris Vintage 2007 presents itself to the eye with a shimmering light gold colour with fine, discreet bubbles. To the nose it is complex with toasted and smoky notes where mainly hazelnut dominates, mentholated notes and slightly spicy after a few minutes in the glass. To the palate it is complex, creamy and crisp with delicate notes of brioche, tobacco and ginger.
A true Champagne par excellence.
CHAMPAGNE GOSSET
Everything started when Champagne was just wine. The Gosset maison was founded in 1584 by Pierre Gosset, who had inherited his vineyards from his granddad Jean, wine-grower of the small city of Aÿ – today the symbol of Échelle des Crus for its vines 100% Grand Cru. On its 425th anniversary, the maison moved to Epernay in 2009 and concentrated his offices in the Trouillard Palace, a beautiful building from the 20th century, characterised by 5km of old chalky tunnels, 20m deep and with a stable humidity at 80%. This place takes its name from its founder, Felix Potin, and hosts annually around 2 million bottles. The vinification process avoid the malolactic fermentation, in order to preserve the precious malic acid – responsible for the natual fresh and fruity aroma. Stainless stell tanks are used and undergo batonagge as a choice of style to avod oxydation, reducing the yeast cotè reducteur. Cuvées san année contains 30% of vins de reserve (from the previous two years of vintage), to ensure the peculiar taste of the maison during centuries.
