Champagne, France

Winemaker’s notes:
Gosset Grande Reserve Brut NV is a truly faithful expression of the Gosset style. To achieve a cuvee of this quality, the cellar-master has blended the best of the various champagne crus at the grape- harvest with wines specially chosen from our reserve stocks for their richness and maturity
The color is bright and golden, the nose open and expressive, and the palate is dominated by a refreshing mineral tension.
This champagne is the perfect accompaniment to mild and subtly spiced dishes with cooked fruit, sweet/savory dishes or tajines. A blend of three vintages, the Grande Réserve Brut is adaptable by nature — from apéritif to dessert.

Critical Acclaim:
“Aromas of crips orchard fruit, pear and apricot, mingled with hints of fresh bread and pastry, introduce the latest release of Gosset’s NV Brut Grande Réserve, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy but incisive wine that’s deceptively generous but also structured to reward some bottle age.”  92 Pts – The Wine Advocate

“This is very fresh and has attractively flavorful, punchy fruit presence, in a very pure mode. Strawberries and grapefruit and some pastry and spiced-biscuit to close. Drink now.”  92 Pts – James Suckling

“Sleek, with a vivid backbone of acidity well-meshed with flavors of black cherry, lemon curd and toasted brioche. Lightly plush and creamy texture, with hints of smoke, candied ginger and honeycomb on the finish.”  92 Pts – Wine Spectator

“Gosset’s nonvintage cuvée is a fine example of the richness of this producer’s Champagnes. It is full, laden with Pinot texture and a touch of toast from bottle aging. Drink now.”  91 Pts – Wine Enthusiast

“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.”  94 Pts – Decanter
