Maison Gosset, whose roots are in Pinot Noir from Aÿ, created this 100% Chardonnay Champagne for the first time in 2011. It is a dynamic and crisp wine of great character, a Gosset style Blanc de Blancs
The first nose expresses white flowers, hawthorn, green apples and citrus. As the Champagne warms up, a hint of grapefruit peel comes to the fore, accompanied by ginger and star anise
On the palate, flavours of citrus fruit mingle with pineapple and finish with a sparkling saline note.

Description
Always created at the start of spring, this Champagne highlights the more mineral character of the different Champagne terroirs that shape its personality. To obtain the bright radiance of the chalk, the Chardonnays are selected from various crus in places where the chalk breaks through to the surface in the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs.
Bottled at the end of the spring following the harvest. 4 years minimum ageing in the cellars. The dosage is adjusted with precision to preserve the balance between freshness and fruit without masking the wine’s character and purity.
