Founded in Aÿ in 1584 by Pierre Gosset, Champagne Gosset is the oldest wine house in Champagne. For 17 generations Gosset was family owned, but in 1993 it was sold to the Cointreau family from Charente, owners of Frappin Cognac. The newest release for the house, this Extra Brut reflects the cultural shift towards dryer champagnes. This blends 40% Pinot Noir, 32% Pinot Meunier, 28% Chardonnay, with 4 years on lees, and a dosage of 4.8 g/L. Ripe lemon, green apple, almond rule a brisk palate, with ample doughy lees pad and a kiss of meringue through a salted lemon twist finish. A tighter, leaner style for the house, and one welcome with canapés or solo sipping. Show more
