Description

Made since 1990 as a blend instead of single vintage, the NV Brut Grand Rose is a beautiful, precise wine. Chalky, mineral notes frame a core of expressive, perfumed fruit as this taut, focused rose opens up in the glass. The wine reveals tons of depth in a focused, vibrant style. This is a superb effort from Gosset. The Brut Grand Rose is 56% Chardonnay and 35% Pinot Noir, plus 9% still Pinot from Bouzy and Ambonnay.
This Cuvée has a soft and flowing hue of salmon pink with a few ruby-cherry reflections. The nose is clearly marked by the strawberries both the fresh fruit and as jam. Wild red cherry, redcurrant and with a hint of grapefruit dominate the palate. The mouth is well structured with a constant tension between freshness and a fruity roundness.

Producer Information: Gosset

The Champagne house of Gosset was founded as a still wine producer in 1584 and is the oldest wine house in Champagne still in operation today (though Ruinart, founded in 1729, claims the oldest Champagne house title). In the 18th century Gosset joined their neighbours and began to make the sparkling wines for the first time. It was at this time that the house adopted the unique antique flask-shaped bottle that is still used today.

Gosset’s wines are characterised by their purity and expressiveness. very creamy, dry but not acidic, full, biscuity and yeasty. Grapes come mainly from premier and grand cru vineyards surrounding Epernay and their winemaking style is characterised by minimal intervention, extended ageing and no malolactic fermentation. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the house’s focus. The house is known for its slightly sweet Brut Excellence and its vintage prestige cuvee Célebris and Grand Millésime.
