Gosset is the oldest Champagne house in France: everything started back in 1584. Since 1993 this brand is property of Béatrice Cointreau. The blend is 42% Chardonnay (Cote de Blancs), 45% Pinot noir Grands and Premiers Crus (Montagne de Reims and Vallée da la Marne) and 13% Pinot Meunier (Vallée de la Marne). This Brut Excellence N.V., like all the rest of Gosset champagnes, do not undergo a malolactic fermentation. The results are a richer full-bodied style, an higher acidity and an extremely good aging potential. This Champagne is extremely alive, it has a very fresh attack and shows some complex earthy notes typical of the Pinot Noir grape. The color is a brilliant straw to golden yellow and the perlage is quite nice. At the nose this Champagne offers notes of pears, aromatic fruit and honey. At the palate the wine is slightly dry, somewhat warm, rich and very fresh. The flavour reminds a little bit of crisp fruit, citrus preserve, bread crust and honey. The finish is long and slightly spicy. Gosset Brut Excellence N.V. has a big personality and an amazing structure. It is quite different from all the rest of the most famous Champagnes that undergo malolactic fermentation. The richness of flavours and minerality of this Cuvée, makes it very pleasant with all different kinds of food. It is perfect as an aperitif or with fish dishes and savory creamy sauces. Excellent and extremely well priced. Highly recommended.
