    Overview

    Gosset Grand Millesime 2016


    Introduction:
    A snapshot of the 2016 harvest through the filter of the Gosset style.

    July creates the bouquet, August creates the must. This Champagne region saying nicely sums up the 2016 growing season, with a cool start to the summer and a warm, sunny end of season. These conditions are ideal for producing great vintages in Champagne.

    The majority of the blend is made up of Chardonnay, which creates finesse and elegance, while the Pinot Noirs add fruitiness and structure.
    Bottled at the end of the spring following the harvest. 

    The dosage is adjusted with precision to preserve the balance between freshness, fruit and vinosity without masking the wine's character and purity

    Tasting Notes:
    Pale yellow hue, indicative of great freshness, with delicate bubbles.

    Dominated by fresh aromas of fennel and star anise preceded by a touch of mint. As the wine warms, it reveals luscious aromas of poached pears, nougat and almonds.

    Elegant on entry to the palate. A bouquet of fresh fruit - mirabelle plums, rhubarb and Reinette apples - then emerges, offering a lovely density on the mid-palate. The finish is well-honed, fresh and wonderfully tart. The fine bitterness that is the hallmark of the Grands Crus contributes to the elegant character of this wine. 

    Food Pairings:
    This Champagne is perfect with a rack of pork, duck breast with figs or prunes, and scallops, or can be enjoyed simply with oysters. For dessert, it would work particularly well with a rhubarb tart, for example.
