Description

La Grande Réserve Gosset: the embodiment of style and elegance

Discover the Grande Réserve from Champagne Gosset, a champagne that perfectly illustrates the expertise and authenticity of this historic house, the oldest wine house in Champagne, founded in 1584. This cuvée is a true masterpiece of winemaking, combining tradition and innovation to offer a unique tasting experience.

The Gosset style: a tradition of excellence

The Gosset house is distinguished by its unique style, characterized by powerful, vinous and balanced champagnes. The Grande Réserve reflects this heritage with an aromatic complexity and elegance that make it a must-try cuvée for champagne lovers.

A harmonious blend

La Grande Réserve is an exquisite blend of 45% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Meunier. Part of this blend consists of reserve wines that add a beautiful patina. This subtle combination gives this cuvée great personality and perfect harmony. The Pinots bring delicate fruitiness and a robust structure, while the Chardonnay adds freshness and finesse.

Vinification and aging: ancestral expertise

At Gosset, winemaking is an art. The wines do not undergo malolactic fermentation, thus preserving their freshness and liveliness. After bottling in the spring following the harvest, the champagnes are aged in cellars for a minimum of four years. This meticulous process allows the rich aromas and silky texture characteristic of Gosset champagnes to develop.

Odilon de Varine: the master craftsman

Under the expert guidance of Odilon de Varine, cellar master since 2006, each bottle of Grande Réserve receives meticulous attention. His expertise guarantees consistent quality and a faithful expression of the Gosset style.
