gastronomy

"The latest version of Gosset's Grand Blanc de Blancs reveals youthful aromas of citrus zest, white flowers and almond paste. Medium- to full-bodied, bright and fleshy, with tangy notes and a soft mousse, it finishes with a chalky aftertaste. The structure of this Champagne suggests that it should develop gracefully in the cellar." (Wine Advocate 2021) A very fine gourmet Champagne!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2019 guide) 17/20 (Vin de référence)

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 5*Stars (Exceptional producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)

About the wine:

Lively yet full-bodied, with a bouquet of citrus zest, white fruit and hints of butter: a superb blanc de blancs in keeping with the house's intense, vinous style.

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 on 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

Wine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Domaine noté (guide 2025) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the wine:

Lots of elegance and subtlety in this blanc de blancs made from the 2015 harvest, blending some 15 crus from Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims and aged for 3 years in our cellars. On the nose, white flowers, almond, mango and tangy notes of passion fruit. On the palate, finesse and vivacity.

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 wines 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.
