Gosset, Grand Réserve Brut, Champagne, France NV

Gosset is the oldest house in Champagne, and although it's a name that may be unfamiliar to many consumers, it's a favourite among wine trade insiders. This non-vintage cuvée is redolent with the aromas of mellow red apple fruit. It has beautifully subtle autolysis on the palate, with creamy apple and plum flavours, and a great precision at the same time. This is elegant, fresh and has great length. 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier. Dosage: 8g/L.
