Appearance
The golden highlights and steady, dense stream of fine bubbles reflect the wine’s 27 years of ageing in our cellars.
Nose
The nose shows great intensity and remarkable freshness. The top notes of bergamot and honeysuckle, which emerge as the wine breathes, then give way to more mature aromas of honey and vanilla, alongside subtle smoky and toasted notes. As the wine continues to open, it reveals an iodised character with notes of dried fruits, star anise and candied pineapple.
Palate
The wine is clean and precise on entry, bursting with freshness while revealing the soft, creamy character of great Chardonnays, beautifully complemented by the vinosity and power of the Pinot Noirs. Well-honed, it shows fine minerality and elegant salinity. The finish is sustained by a gentle bitterness that enhances its remarkable length. Altogether, it expresses a fullness, purity and complexity worthy of Gosset’s finest vintages.
Accords mets et Champagne
This wine is perfect as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with Bresse chicken, turbot, scallops, suckling or salt marsh lamb, a porcini mushroom risotto, aged Comté cheese...
