Gosset Grand Millesime 2015

Product Description:
Precision, vinosity and vibrant freshness define the Gosset Grand Millésime 2015, a vintage Brut Champagne shaped by one of the region’s warmest and most successful Pinot Noir harvests. The cuvée is composed of 59% Pinot Noir and 41% Chardonnay, with the Pinot Noir providing fruit and structure while the Chardonnay contributes aromatic lift and an elegant finish. For this release, Gosset selected particularly fresh and finely structured Pinot Noir parcels alongside Chardonnays chosen for their vibrant aromatic character. The fruit was sourced from villages including Ambonnay, Avenay, Avize, Bisseuil, Chavot, Cramant, Moussy, Pierry, Trépail, Verzy and Villers-Marmery. The wine was bottled during the spring following the harvest and entered the cellars in May 2016.

As is characteristic of the Gosset style, malolactic fermentation was avoided to preserve the wine’s natural acidity, energy and capacity to develop in bottle. Its dosage of just 4 grams per litre was carefully calibrated to balance freshness, fruit and vinosity without obscuring the purity of the vintage. Following disgorgement, the bottles were returned to the cellar for at least six additional months, allowing the dosage to integrate smoothly into the wine. The resulting Champagne combines fine, persistent bubbles with ripe orchard fruit, patisserie notes and a pronounced mineral tension. Although already expressive, its concentrated fruit, firm acidity and structured Pinot Noir foundation give it considerable potential for further bottle development. It pairs particularly well with grilled vegetables, Pata Negra ham, aged Parmesan and mature Comté.
