James Suckling

This stylish, complex and elegantly powerful Champagne is the pinnacle of Gosset’s range and delivers such layered, fresh and complex style. The palate has a super smooth-honed, long and plush feel with a wealth of grilled almonds and grapefruit. Long, succulent draw through the finish. Magnificent. Drink now.

Vinous

Antonio Galloni

The 2007 Extra-Brut Vintage Celebris is a great example of the house style. Powerful and rich, the 2007 has tremendous vinous intensity, balanced by a low dosage that gives the wine a sense of classic austerity. Orchard fruit, apricot, tangerine oil and white flowers emerge with a bit of coaxing. The Celebris is a big, broad-shouldered Champagne for the dinner table.

Bettane+Desseauve

Very beautiful golden yellow, a blend that is almost perfectly balanced between pinot noir and chardonnay, with the latter slightly dominant. The nose is superbly consistent and displays rich, refined authenticity. Almonds and roasted nuts mingle with very juicy stone-fleshed white fruits and honeyed confectionery aromas. Light spices and autumnal dampness create a bewitching setting. The palate is gentle, highlighting flavors of dried nuts, honey, and fresh greens, with a finish resting on lemon peel. A lovely whole.

Le Figaro Vin

On the eye, a fine effervescence; on the nose, aromas of mountain flowers, gentian and viennoiserie, which then reveal a woody character that reappears on the palate, supported by a generous mousse and a slight bitterness on the finish.

Description

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.

The wine

The Celebris Vintage Extra Brut 2007 from Gosset is made from great vineyards of chardonnay (Vertus, Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Verzy, Trépail...) and pinot noir (Cumières, Avenay, Aÿ, Bouzy, Ambonnay..).

Vinification and aging

Traditional vinification and aging on lees. No malolactic fermentation in order to preserve the naturally fruity aromas of the wines. The dosage is 3 g/liter and the aging is a minimum of 10 years in a cellar at a constant temperature. The disgorging of this 2007 vintage champagne is a minimum of 6 months.

Blend

Chardonnay (57%) and pinot noir (43%).

Oysters, belons, langoustines, a dorade with Thai sauce, a chicken with lemongrass, a veal grenadin or even a grilled sole are refined pairings with this Celebris Vintage Extra Brut 2007 from the Gosset Champagne House.
