Champagne Gosset
Celebris Vintage 2008

The Cuvée Celebris Vintage 2008 by Maison Gosset is in its eighth edition, 27 years after the first edition with Vintage 1988. The result of a blend of 54% Chardonnay and 46% Pinot Noir, it is the Cuvée de Prestige of the Maison, made exclusively from grapes grown in vineyards classified as Premier and Grand Cru in the villages of Vertus, Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Verzy and Trépail for the Chardonnay and in Cumières, Avenay, Aÿ, Bouzy and Ambonnay for the Pinot Noir.

Traditional vinification with no malolactic fermentation, maturation for over 12 years with a final dosage of only 4.8 g/l - making it an Extra Brut - to maintain the balance between freshness, fruitiness and vinosity without masking the wine's character and purity.  

Most other Maisons have already released their 2008 vintage, but chef de cave Odilon de Varine preferred to wait for the release of this 'particular' vintage. Limited edition of only 15,000 bottles.

The Cuvée Celebris Vintage 2008 presents itself to the eye with an intense yellow colour illuminated by a fine, abundant rim. To the nose it is floral with touches of white flowers of acacia, jasmine and mimosa. Fruity notes of pear and mirabelle plum are also perceived. The bouquet is rich and heady, vinous yet airy. The palate is characterised by marked pastry aromas: pear cake, vanilla madeleine, sponge cake, sabayon. The finish is long and salty.

A true Champagne par excellence.


Winery

Champagne Gosset

Everything started when Champagne was just wine. The Gosset maison was founded in 1584 by Pierre Gosset, who had inherited his vineyards from his granddad Jean, wine-grower of the small city of Aÿ - today the symbol of Échelle des Crus for its vines 100% Grand Cru. On its 425th anniversary, the maison moved to Epernay in 2009 and concentrated his offices in the Trouillard Palace, a beautiful building from the 20th century, characterised by 5km of old chalky tunnels, 20m deep and with a stable humidity at 80%. This place takes its name from its founder, Felix Potin, and hosts annually around 2 million bottles. The vinification process avoid the malolactic fermentation, in order to preserve the precious malic acid - responsible for the natual fresh and fruity aroma. Stainless stell tanks are used and undergo batonagge as a choice of style to avod oxydation, reducing the yeast cotè reducteur. Cuvées san année contains 30% of vins de reserve (from the previous two years of vintage), to ensure the peculiar taste of the maison during centuries.
