"This is the House's first vintage Blanc de Blancs. The Chardonnays from 2012 were particularly well suited to achieving the balance desired for a Gosset Celebris cuvée." Odilon de Varine, Cellar Master
This 2012 Celebris Blanc de Blancs is therefore a first for the House of Gosset. It expresses the quintessence of the Gosset style with superb freshness and great aromatic complexity, achieved through long maturation in the cellar.
This Blanc de Blancs is made from Chardonnay grapes from the villages of Cramant, Ambonnay, Avize, Cumières, Passy-sur-Marne Trépail, Vertus, Villers-Marmery and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
Once bottled, the 2012 Gosset Celebris Blanc de Blancs cuvée was transferred to the cellar where it developed its aromas for nine years. This champagne has a dosage of 7 g/L, just enough to achieve a beautiful balance between freshness and vinosity.
This champagne has a slightly golden color with emerald highlights.
The nose is fresh and reveals a hint of mint mixed with fruity aromas of pink grapefruit and frangipane.
On the palate, the attack is clean and fresh with a hint of lemon. The wine evokes a palette of delicious aromas of baked apples with salted butter, tarte tatin, and far breton. This subtle complexity is enhanced by a hint of candied ginger and star anise. The finish is long, invigorating, and mineral, evoking fresh crab apples with a hint of citrus.
This Celebris Blanc de Blancs 2012 cuvée is best enjoyed with fresh, complex dishes such as ceviche, carpaccio, marinated fish, scallop tartare, oysters or grilled fish.
This cuvée is available in a limited edition of 15,000 bottles.
