"Maturity, elegance, vinosity".
"This elegant, complex and powerful champagne is the pinnacle of the Gosset range and offers a multi-layered, fresh and complex style. The palate is sweet, long and mellow, rich with aromas of toasted almond and grapefruit. The finish is long and succulent". (James Suckling)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2020 guide) 17/20 (Reference wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 5*Stars (Exceptional producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)
About the wine:
Very fine, slender and brilliantly fine, this Celebris has a softness of flavor quite unprecedented for this cuvée renowned for its power. Delicate and deep, it's a great success!
About the domain :
Gosset remains a small house in the world of Champagne giants, with an average of one million bottles sold each year. At the head of the technical team is a dynamic duo, Odilon de Varine and Gabrielle Malagu, for a range that remains true to its fundamentals: freshness, liveliness and minerality. To stay the course, despite recent climate changes and higher grape ripeness, the house now favors Chardonnay in its blends, with a smaller share of Pinot Noir to keep the final taste consistent. With its homogeneity and assertive style, the range, which offers numerous cuvées, including some from long-aged wines, deserved to be rewarded with an extra star. The house is back at the top of our hierarchy.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2025) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
The "oldest house in Champagne" was founded in 1584 by Pierre Gosset, an alderman and vineyard owner from Aÿ, before the region's wine began to take off. At the time, the town's wines, often red, rivaled those of Beaune at court. After Pierre Gosset, 13 generations followed. Now based in Épernay, the company has been part of the Renaud-Cointreau group since 1993. Gosset champagnes do not undergo malolactic fermentation. In 2016, assistant manager and oenologist Odilon de Varine took over from Jean-Pierre Mareigner. He was joined the following year by Gabrielle Malagu, to whom he entrusted joint responsibility for the winery at the end of 2022.

Rated 95/100 (Extraordinary wine)
Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Celebris Extra Brut 2007 is the latest version of this cuvée, which cellar master Odilon de Varine describes as "not a vintage Gosset but a Gosset vintage" - meaning that it is only produced in years suited to the house's powerful yet austere style. In the glass, aromas of lemon oil, marzipan, warm cookies and wet stones are revealed. It's dense, concentrated and deep, with ripe but racy fruit, and an elegant central framework of acidity, displaying formidable purity and precision.
