More Information

Champagne Gosset is arguably the oldest house in Champagne. It was founded in 1584 in Aÿ, just outside of Reims, by Pierre Gosset who began making still red wines in bulk. In the mid-18th Century the Gosset family discovered bubbles in their wine as it began to ferment in bottle and, since then, Gosset Champagne has been almost continuously produced.

The Gosset winery is still located in Aÿ, and all of the wines are produced there. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes are mostly purchased from grape growers who have vines located in grand and premier cru sites around the region.

The varieties and plots are all vinified and kept separate until after fermentation, and then blended before bottling. The wines do not go through malolactic fermentation, giving them slightly higher levels of acidity (freshness) while they are bottled, aged and released.

"The nonvintage Champagne cuvée from Gosset is very much in the house style: crisp and without malolactic fermentation. Ripe fruits balance the crispness while some bottle age has allowed the acidity to soften. This is a very fine wine that is ready to drink. Roger Voss" - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast
