Gosset
Grand Millésime
2016
The majority of the blend is made up of Chardonnay, which creates finesse and elegance, while the Pinot Noirs add fruitiness and structure.
Bottled at the end of the spring following the harvest. The dosage is adjusted with precision to preserve the balance between freshness, fruit and vinosity without masking the wine’s character and purity.

Appearance
Pale yellow hue, indicative of great freshness, with delicate bubbles.
Nose
Dominated by fresh aromas of fennel and star anise preceded by a touch of mint. As the wine warms, it reveals luscious aromas of poached pears, nougat and almonds.
Palate
Elegant on entry to the palate. A bouquet of fresh fruit - mirabelle plums, rhubarb and Reinette apples - then emerges, offering a lovely density on the mid-palate. The finish is well-honed, fresh and wonderfully tart. The fine bitterness that is the hallmark of the Grands Crus contributes to the elegant character of this wine.
Accords mets et Champagne
This Champagne is perfect with a rack of pork, duck breast with figs or prunes, and scallops, or can be enjoyed simply with oysters. For dessert, it would work particularly well with a rhubarb tart, for example.
