Depending on terminology or who you believe, Gosset is either the oldest or the second oldest house in all of Champagne with its origins going back to 1584. A rich, extremely well-made wine. Chardonnay just edges Pinot Noir in the blend, with a little Pinot Meunier adding a seductive brioche aroma. A delicious biscuity palate with an elegant and assertive finish. The Gosset style is powerful, very creamy, and dry but not acidic, full, biscuity and yeasty. This is very serious, distinguished Champagne.

“Medium to light yellow colour and a very complex bisquity bouquet, reflecting the skilful use of barrels and well-judged aldehydes. Full bodied, rich and deepwith power and drive but also elegance and length and appetising qualities. A magic wine.”
— 96 Points, Huon Hooke

“The nose opens with the fresh ripeness of yellow apple and highlights of Granny Smith. It has beautifully subtle autolysis on the palate, deepening into notes of creamy apple crumble, Golden Delicious and Mirabelle plum, while remaining utterly strait-laced. Elegance, length and absolute freshness are inherent and quietly convincing.”
