Celebris Vintage 2012 | Bottle 75cl - Presentation pack

Description

Cuvée Celebris 2012 is Maison Gosset's exceptional cuvée, with the 2012 harvest expressing its full potential. This 2012 vintage is only the 9th edition of the Celebris cuvée in the last 35 years.

It's a champagne that blends 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir. Grapes from the finest Champagne terroirs (Ambonnay, Avenay, Avize, Aÿ, Bouzy, Cramant, Cuis, Cumières, Trépail, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Louvois etc.).

The wines are vinified and aged in stainless steel vats, with malolactic fermentation blocked, to allow the aromas to express themselves fully, but also to obtain great ageing potential.

Once the wine has been bottled, the bottles are transferred to the cellar, where they develop their aromas for 10 years. The dosage is low, at 5.5 g/L, to maintain the balance between freshness, fruitiness and vinosity, without masking the wine's character and purity.

This cuvée has a luminous, golden color with fine, crystalline bubbles.

The nose is marked by fresh pear and citrus notes, including sweet orange and grapefruit. It then opens up to gourmet aromas of pear and almond tart.

On the palate, the wine is structured and offers depth, between tension and beautiful density. The attack opens with citrus fruit and vanilla flowers, then evolves into aromas of gooseberry, raspberry, red cherry and yellow flesh.

Cuvée Celebris 2012 is ideal both as an aperitif and with a meal. It goes equally well with exotic dishes such as banana plantin, veal with pineapple, pork with prunes, chicken kebab with lemongrass, monkfish tail, sea bass with salt crust, or steamed fish.
