Champagne Extra Brut Gosset

Gosset presents its Extra Brut Champagne, an elegant yet immediate sparkling wine that effectively introduces the style and imprint of the Maison the oldest in Champagne. To trace the roots of this Négociant Manipulant from Aÿ, we must go back over 4 centuries, specifically to the distant year 1584, when Pierre Gosset vinified the first grapes. Until the 18th century, production consisted solely of still wines, mostly red, and it was during this period that Simon Gosset decided to create one of the first sparkling wines of the Region. All labels are presented in the ancient Champagne flask used in the 1700s, and in the cellar, malolactic fermentation is avoided to preserve the wine's natural freshness and fruity component.

The Cuvée Extra Brut by Gosset is produced from a blend of the classic champenoise grape varieties: Pinot Noir (40%), Pinot Meunier (32%), and Chardonnay (28%). The first fermentation takes place in steel without malolactic fermentation. Subsequently, the refermentation of the base wine occurs in the bottle according to the Classic Method and the aging sur lie lasts for at least 48 months, followed by an additional 6-9 months of rest in the underground caves after the dégorgement and the Extra Brut dosage.

In the glass, the Champagne AOC Gosset Extra Brut appears bright straw yellow with fine and persistent bubbles. The aromatic spectrum is vast with inviting and fragrant notes of white-fleshed fruit, citrus, plums, and white flowers, which combine with perceptions of dried fruit. On the palate, it is creamy, sleek, and deep, very tense and with great minerality. In the imagination of the Maison, this sparkling wine should be an expression without extravagance or frills, to be enjoyed on any occasion paired with fish tartare.
