Gosset Grand Millisime 2016

The colour is a bright and clear yellow gold. The first nose is very fresh and expressive with notes of hawthorn, lilac, wild white flowers and fruit notes such as pear, plum and Mirabelle. The palate is straightforward with light notes of violet. Citrus fruits aromas dominate in this cuvée: lemon drops and grapefruit aromas sustained by fruit aromas (pear, plum) thus confirming the nose. In the mouth, we can find aromas of citrus caviar and grapefruit. The finish has a long lasting, refreshing note with a hint of saltiness, and ends with notes of lemon.

Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week

Gosset is the oldest wine house in Champagne. It was founded in Aÿ in 1584 by Pierre Gosset an alderman and wine-grower who made mostly red wines. At that time the region's still wines competed for pride of place on the best tables of France with the wines of Beaune which were made from the same grape varieties as they are today.

2016

July creates the bouquet, August creates the must. This Champagne region saying nicely sums up the 2016 growing season, with a cool start to the summer and a warm, sunny end of season. These conditions are ideal for producing great vintages in Champagne.

This Champagne is perfect with a rack of pork, duck breast with figs or prunes, and scallops, or can be enjoyed simply with oysters. For dessert, it would work particularly well with a rhubarb tart, for example.

Odilon de Varine

Bottled at the end of the spring following the harvest. The dosage is adjusted with precision to preserve the balance between freshness, fruit and vinosity without masking the wine’s character and purity.
