26 Jul, 2019 – This stylish, complex and elegantly powerful Champagne is the pinnacle of Gosset’s range and delivers such layered, fresh and complex style. The palate has a super smooth-honed, long and plush feel with a wealth of grilled almonds and grapefruit. Long, succulent draw through the finish. Magnificent. Drink now.

1st Dec 2019 – “A blend of mainly Chardonnay from the Cote de Blancs and Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims, Gosset’s deluxe cuvee has been well aged. With its edge of toastiness and the still-vibrant citrus and white fruits, the wine is at a beautiful, poised moment, though it will continue to age even further.”

30th Apr 2019 – “The Celebris Extra Brut 2007 is the latest rendition of this cuvee, which cellar master Odilon de Varine describes as “not a vintage Gosset but a Gosset vintage” – meaning that it is produced only in years adapted to the house’s powerful but austere style. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of lemon oil, marzipan, warm biscuits and wet stones. Its full-bodied, with a deep and concentrated core of ripe but racy fruit, a tangy spine of acidity and an elegant pinpoint mousse, displaying terrific purity and precision.”

2019 – “Lightly mouthwatering, with citrus peel acidity and a tang of salinity, layered with flavors of toasted nut, crunchy pear, ground coffee and preserved lemon. Rich and finely meshed, offering a lacy texture and an airy refreshing feel on the palate. Lasting finish. Drink now through 2027.”
