The production of Gosset's 15-year-old champagne

Gosset's philosophy is reflected in its traditional and precise winemaking methods. Here, malolactic fermentation is deliberately avoided in order to preserve the original fruity aromas and ensure remarkable aging potential. This cuvée rested on lees for over 15 years before continuing its journey in the cellar, reaching a state of harmonious maturity.

Blend

The Gosset 15 Years Old cuvée combines two iconic grape varieties:

• Pinot Noir (60%) – from Ambonnay, Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, it brings vinosity, structure and depth.
• Chardonnay (40%) – from Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant, and Villers-Marmery, it confers tension, freshness, and mineral elegance.

This balance between power and finesse is the hallmark of the Gosset style and gives this champagne exceptional aging potential.

The terroir

The grands crus of the Côte des Blancs (Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant) infuse their crystalline brilliance, while the terroirs of the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne (Ambonnay, Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ) mark the wine with their density and fruity intensity. This alchemy gives the champagne a mineral base and a rare length.

Vinification

Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, guaranteeing purity and aromatic precision. Long aging on lees in Gosset's deep cellars allows the wine to develop slowly, protected from oxidation. The dosage, discreet and measured, highlights the wine's natural balance without masking its fruity structure.

Storage and serving tips

Storing this champagne

Store this cuvée in a dark cellar at a stable temperature of 10-12°C and 70% humidity. The bottle should be stored horizontally so that the cork remains airtight and preserves the bubbles.

Aging potential

Thanks to its extended aging andthe absence of malolactic fermentation, this champagne can continue to evolve favorably until 2030 or even beyond, depending on your cellar conditions. From 2025 to 2028, the profile will remain centered on yellow fruits, biscuit, and a distinct tension. Between 2028 and 2033, the palette will gain depth: dried fruit, light honey, fine brioche, hazelnut, and more complex spices. Beyond that, tertiary nuances may appear (delicate undergrowth, black tea, a hint of truffle), with the effervescence becoming creamier and the texture silkier, while retaining the fresh structure characteristic of the Gosset style.

Serving suggestions

Serve between 40 and 50°F in a tulip glass to appreciate both its aromatic complexity and freshness. Decanting is not recommended: its subtle balance is best expressed immediately after opening.

Anecdote about this cuvée

Jean-Pierre Mareigner, Gosset's cellar master for over thirty years, chose to "let this cuvée sleep" for fifteen years. In doing so, he wanted to share an experience usually reserved for a select few: that of a wine suspended in time, patiently revealing the full depth of the Gosset style.
