Gosset : Celebris Vintage Extra Brut 2007

A complex and aromatic Extra-Brut vintage champagne

The property

Inheriting a traditional know-how, the Champagne Gosset House perpetuates its style through the centuries. The Gosset family has been established in Aÿ, a Grand Cru of Champagne since the 16th century. For 16 generations, the Gosset House has perpetuated the excellence of which the guardian is today Odilon de Varine, cellar master and deputy general manager of the house. The champagnes of the house are recognizable notably by the shape of their bottle, a legacy of the "antique" flasks used in the 18th century.

The vineyard

The Gosset House owns plots on the Grands and Premiers Crus of Champagne from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The approximately 140 hectares of vineyards are planted on the crus of Cumières, Courmas, Chamery, Avenay, Vertus, Villers-Marmery, Grauves, Avize Trépail or Cuis.
