    Overview

    Gosset Celebris Rose 2008 - no box

     
    Tasting Notes:
    A pale pink colour with a hint of cherry-red reflection. The nose delivers notes of raspberry, strawberry, blueberry and vanilla but also fresher notes of flowers such as lilac or violet. 

    Celebris Rose 2007 is fresh and generous. With its prevailing aromas of red fruits such as strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant this cuvee provides a soft and embracing feeling finishing with notes of pink grapefruit. 

    Grape Variety:
    59% Chardonnay, 41% Pinot Noir - including 7% red wines from Bouzy and Ambonnay.

    Dosage - extra brut (5 g/l)

    Pairing with food:
    This Celebris Rose 2007 extra brut cuvée is made to seduce the most refined palates and all the lovers of romantic aperitif. It can be served with smoked salmon, Dublin Bay Prawns just panned, salty-sweet dishes or also a raspberry "mille-feuilles".

    Background Information:
    Champagne Gosset is the oldest wine house in Champagne established in Ay in 1584 and is owned by the Cointreau family. The Cointreaus also own Gosset's sister company, Cognac Frapin, and Jean Pierre is currently C.E.O of both companies. They bought Gosset in 1993 when Albert Gosset of the original Gosset family died. The Cointreaus hold strong the belief that Gosset is a family run business and maintain the hands on approach that was started by the original Gosset family.

    Situated in the tiny Grand Cru village of Aÿ, 5 kilometres north of Epernay, Gosset has some rather famous neighbours, including Bollinger. However, production is much below that of the larger houses and would struggle to reach the number of bottles produced by Krug in a year. Yearly production has now reached almost 1.3 million bottles. All Gosset champagnes are 'recently disgorged' and the house does not undertake malolactic fermentation. This preserves acidity which in turn keeps the wine fresh for much longer. Bottles are removed from one part of the cellar to another every six months, and given a vigorous shake in the process. This reinvigorates any live yeast and is only carried out by a few houses.

    The jewel in the Gosset Crown has always been the Champagne Gosset Celebris. It is the top cuvee produced by Gosset and is only produced in the best vintages. Launched in the UK in Spring 2008.

    The Gosset style is very creamy, dry but not acidic, full, biscuity and yeasty. All the cuvees have good bottle age. The champagnes are excellent by themselves or with food.
