Summary
Gosset is the oldest producer in the Champagne region, though their origins are not founded in sparkling wine production. They own few vineyards, and rely on grapes from 45 different crus for their production, almost all of which qualify as Premier or Grand Cru. The house is known for finesse and relies on Chardonnay for its top cuvees. Their top cuvee, Celebris, is made in blanc de blancs, rosé, and blended styles; all receive an extra brut dosage.
Style & Vinification Techniques
The base wines are fermented in stainless steel, although they do not receive malolactic fermentation. They undergo long lees aging, ranging from 4 years for the NV wines and longer for the vintage cuvées.
