Gosset Celebris Blanc de Blancs Brut 2012

Gosset Celebris Blanc de Blancs is the all Chardonnay expression of the house prestige cuvee.

Gosset was founded at Ay in 1584 and is the oldest wine house in Champagne, now based in Epernay. Its defining choice is to block malolactic fermentation, keeping malic acidity intact so the wines stay taut and reward long cellaring. Celebris is the prestige cuvee of the house, declared only in exceptional years and drawn from a small selection of the finest crus. It is bottled extra brut, with a dosage low enough that the wine has nowhere to hide, and given an extended rest on lees in the chalk cellars well beyond the three year minimum for vintage Champagne, before late disgorgement. That combination of low dosage and long ageing is what allows Celebris to be released mature and still taste tight. This bottling is made entirely from Chardonnay grown on the chalk of the Cote des Blancs.

Taut, saline and very long, it suits oysters, langoustine, turbot and aged Comte; serve at around 10 degrees.
