‘For me, Champagne is the best wine for ageing,’ said Gosset cellar master Odilon de Varine earlier this year at the ProWein trade fair in Düsseldorf where the wine, now released in the UK, was first presented. The new cuvée is a rosé Champagne aged for 12 years on lees.
Demonstrating the future
The wine is part of the house’s Compte d’Age series, which, it says, ‘pays tribute to wines with long ageing potential; an experience hitherto only available to the cellar master.’
