Gosset Célébris is crafted from premier Grand Cru villages, featuring a blend slightly favouring Chardonnay over Pinot Noir. It is classified as Extra Brut with a minimal dosage of only 5g/l, and malolactic fermentation was intentionally halted. Hailing from one of Champagne`s exceptional vintages, it reveals floral notes, followed by yellow apple, honey, marzipan, brioche, and a touch of smokiness.

Vinous
Magnificent in its complexity and pure breeding, the 2002 Extra Brut Celebris has it all. The Extra Brut style confers the signature Gosset drive, while extended time on the lees has given the wine just enough texture and body to fill out nicely. In the meantime, the aromas and flavors have mellowed into those that are typical of Champagne entering the first plateau of its maturity. The 2002 is vinous, fleshy and super-expressive, yet retains striking freshness throughout. Candied lemon peel, apricot jam, honey, mint, spices and sage form a compelling fabric of flavors and textures in a knock-out Champagne that is peaking today. The 2002 is 52% Chardonnay, 48% Pinot Noir from vineyards in Aÿ, Bouzy, Verzy, Chouilly and Cramant.

Gosset
The Gosset family has been established in Champagne well before 1484, when Jean Gosset was born. A century later, Pierre Gosset, alderman of Aÿ and winegrower, founded the House, which produced still wines, often red, from its own vineyards. For more than four centuries, Maison Gosset has been perpetuating the perfection and transmission of its know-how in the production of Champagne wines with an original character.
