Description
Gosset unveils a fresh and complex Rosé Champagne
The estate
As a heritage of traditional expertise, the Champagne Gosset House has preserved its style through the centuries. The Gosset family has been established in Aÿ, Grand Cru of Champagne since the 16th century. For 16 generations, Maison Gosset has upheld excellence, now overseen by Odilon de Varine, cellar master and deputy general manager of the house. The house’s champagnes are notably recognized by the shape of their bottle, a legacy of the “antique” flasks used in the 18th century.
The vineyard
Maison Gosset owns plots on the Grands and Premiers Crus of the Champagne region in the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The approximately 140 hectares of vineyards are planted in the crus of Cumières, Courmas, Chamery, Avenay, Vertus, Villers-Marmery, Grauves, Avize, Trépail, and Cuis.
The wine
The Celebris Rosé Extra Brut 2007 cuvée from Gosset is crafted from a blend of chardonnay vineyards (Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Vertus, …) and pinot noir (Ambonnay, Aÿ, Bouzy, …).
This cuvée is the third edition of this Rosé Extra Brut champagne, following the 1998 and 2003 vintages.
Vinification and aging
Traditional vinification and aging on lees. Malolactic fermentation is avoided to preserve a pure and fruity aromatic expression. This cuvée benefits from at least 10 years of aging in the cellar and a minimum of 6 months of disgorgement before release. The dosage of this 2007 vintage champagne is 5 g/l.
Blend
Celebris Rosé Extra Brut 2007 by Gosset is the result of a blend of chardonnay (59%) and pinot noir (41%), including 7% red wine.
