The colour is a bright and clear yellow gold. The first nose is very fresh and expressive with notes of hawthorn, lilac, wild white flowers and fruit notes such as pear, plum and Mirabelle. The palate is straightforward with light notes of violet. Citrus fruits aromas dominate in this cuvée: lemon drops and grapefruit aromas sustained by fruit aromas (pear, plum) thus confirming the nose. In the mouth, we can find aromas of citrus caviar and grapefruit. The finish has a long lasting, refreshing note with a hint of saltiness, and ends with notes of lemon.

Founded in Ay in 1584 Champagne Gosset is the oldest wine house in Champagne. Continued excellence is ensured by Odilon de Varine, Gosset Cellar Master. 2006 was particularly favourable to Pinot Noir which shows a good maturity, with a lot of fruit and body.

This is a dry style of wine, with great acidity and a tightly wrought texture. As with many Gosset Champagnes, this wine has had no malolactic fermentation, enhancing the freshness and crispness as well as the structure. Full of lemon zest, crisp grapefruit and delicious acidity, it will still age for many years. Cellar Selection.

As part of its ongoing environmental commitment, the foil caps on the bottles have been replaced with a ''new generation'' of foils made from low-density green polyethylene and printed with water-based inks.

Bright, limpid yellow gold. Fresh, expressive first aromas of hawthorn, lilac, and white flowers (from the Chardonnay), then pear, plum, and mirabelle (from the Pinot). The palate confirms the nose, with light tones of violet, lemon drops, and agrumes (grapefruit), sustained by ripe orchard fruits that bring richness without loss of freshness or finessea signature of the vintage. The non-malo winemaking is key to its success.

From an excellent vintage, especially for Pinot Noir, Gosset's golden-yellow 2006 Grand Millésime Brut displays a deep, rich and fresh, very mineral bouquet. This is followed by a full-bodied, very complex and persistent palate with purity, finesse and great expression. This is a mouthful of a straightforward, well-structured and refreshing millésime with a long and pure, salty and stringent finish...

* Le Guide Hachette Des Vins 2017
pinot noir (55%) and chardonnay almost in equal shares in this 2006 with a elegant, energetic and tonic palate. Its candied orange aromas and its menthol notes almost eucalyptus are the signature of this vintage...

'Vivid tropical and honeysuckle characters lead onto a nutty, weighty palate with assertive Pinot characters.'

Gosset is the oldest wine house in Champagne. It was founded in Aÿ in 1584 by Pierre Gosset an alderman and wine-grower who made mostly red wines. In the 18th century Gosset joined their neighbours and began to make the sparkling wines for the first time. It was at this time that the house adopted the unique antique flask-shaped bottle that is still used today. Gossets wines are characterised by their purity and expressiveness. Grapes come mainly from premier and grand cru vineyards surrounding Epernay and their winemaking style is characterised by minimal intervention, extended ageing and no malolactic fermentation. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the houses focus. Gosset Ranked 4th Best Champagne House (among 50) by the highly acclaimed Revue du Vin de France.
