Gosset’s Grande Rose Brut Champagne is the signature of the house and an expression of the Gosset style for over 30 years. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir go through minimum ageing on lees in bottle of 3 years. Malolactic fermentation is carefully avoided in order to preserve the naturally fruity aroma of the wines. A touch of Ambonnay and Bouzy red wines finish perfect colour and fruitiness.
This creates a wine with soft salmon rose colour, embellished with ruby-cherry reflections. The nose expresses fresh strawberries, with hints of jam and stewed fruit. The palate has structured balance of freshness and roundness of fruit, with dominant flavours of wild strawberries (cream or coulis) providing a soft and enveloping sensation. Try with oily fish, grilled veal, or berry desserts.
Gosset is believed to be the oldest wine-producing house in Champagne, founded in the Ay area in 1584. They moved into sparkling in the 18th Century and have become synonymous with the best of the Champagne region. Their bottle design for the Antique cuvee range is an exact reproduction of the one used since the 18th century.
