Founded in 1584, Gosset is the oldest winemaking House in the Champagne region. Production remained fairly low-key until 1994, when the House was sold to the family owned Renaud-Cointreau Group. This takeover saw an increased level of investment improve their vineyard management and fostered a doubling of Gosset's annual production to nearly one million bottles in just fourteen years. Owning just a few vineyards, Gosset purchase nearly all of the grapes required for production. After sixteen generations in the famous village of Aÿ, the winery has only recently moved to a larger and new plot in Épernay.
Created with the vision of making the very best brut non-vintage in Champagne, Gosset Grande Réserve Brut NV is a blend of only Grand and Premier Cru grapes. Aged for a minimum of five years on the lees, it is still presented today in the same antique bottle used when the House first began making sparking wine. A truly faithful expression of the famous Gosset style.
Technical Information:
Vineyards: 100% Grand & Premier Cru
Grape Varieties: 43% Chardonnay, 42% Pinot Noir, 15% Meunier
Ageing: 5 years on the lees

Tasting Note: A pale gold colour. On the nose Grande Réserve NV has expressive notes of blackcurrants and gingerbread. A very balanced palate opens to show great depth with a richness of dried fruits creating a lasting but subtle finish.
Founded in 1584, Gosset is the oldest House in the Champagne region. Production remained fairly low-key until 1994, when the House was sold to the family owned Renaud-Cointreau Group. This takeover saw an increased level of investment improve their vineyard management and fostered a doubling of Gosset's annual production to nearly one million bottles in just fourteen years. Production was accelerated by the return to the beautiful old-fashioned bottles identical to the ones used by Jean Gosset in the 18th century. After sixteen generations in the famous village of Aÿ, the winery has only recently moved to Épernay and the modern ex-Malakoff cellars.
Owning just a few vineyards, Gosset purchase nearly all of the grapes required for production. The character of Aÿ has a strong influence on the House style, however the true identity of Gosset lies in the blocking of malolactic fermentation. A natural process where malic acid is converted to lactic acid, this can allow champagnes that don't tend to have fresher acidity to be more delicate and fruit-driven. Preventing this process gives the winemaking team at Gosset the chance to showcase the bright fruitiness and brisk acidity when the grapes are ripe and the quality is high - a hallmark of the House style.

William Kelley
“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.”

“A complex and long-aged blend, this cuvée shows Gosset's strengths much more than the entry-level Brut Excellence. Soft, yeast-complexed nose, with delicious creamy, toasty tones: orange blossom, quince and apple. Juicy succulent palate, with the apt dosage bringing deliciousness to the finish. This is a finely crafted, pleasurable and harmonious wine. Dosage 7g/l”

“The NV Grande Réserve is a gorgeous entry-level wine from Gosset. Crisp, dry and resonant, the Grande Réserve offers lovely textural depth to play off the more mineral-driven notes that are so typical of the Gosset house style. All the elements come together nicely in this effortless, gracious mid-weight Champagne. This is very nicely done. Disgorged on April 26, 2017. Dosage is 8 grams per liter.”

“(43% Chardonnay, 42% Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Meunier; 8 g/l dosage; L318 9123): Pale gold. Expansive, mineral-driven citrus and orchard fruit scents are complemented by anise, honey and buttered toast, along with a hint of peach pit. Packs a solid punch but comes off lithe and precise, with mineral-laced blood orange and quince flavors and a deeper suggestion of fresh fig. Closes on a spicy note, with repeating minerality and very good persistence.”

“Soft nose of pastry and ripe peach, preserved apricots, toffee, cream and honey. Broad, energetic palate. Medium-long and zesty palate with the very dry finish bringing a feeling of tartness. Develops attractive fruity depth and mellowness with one to two years of cellaring. Great value.”
“First time tasting a Gosset Grande Réserve Brut NV.
Trying a few different champagnes to broaden my horizons.
We loved its warm and rich taste. Will definitely try again ”
We tasted the 2016 Vins Clairs with cellar master Odilon de Varine, talked winemaking secrets and heard about Gosset's grand plans: including the opportunity for consumers to create their own blend?!
