“The Blush of Nobility”
Delicate salmon-pink with fine, persistent bubbles, Gosset’s Grand Rosé offers aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, and redcurrant, layered with rose petals and a touch of brioche. On the palate, red fruit brightness meets creamy texture, with a chalky, mineral backbone and a long, graceful finish.
For when: the evening deserves elegance tinged with playfulness.
Pairs with: tuna tartare, charcuterie, or strawberry tart.
If this wine were a guest, it’d charm the room without raising its voice.
Founded in 1584, Gosset is Champagne’s oldest wine house, renowned for its focus on structure, freshness, and gastronomic balance. The Grand Rosé epitomises this approach – precise, elegant, and endlessly refined.

Description
Maison Gosset, the oldest Wine House in Champagne, boasts a rich history dating back to 1584. The Gosset family’s involvement in viticulture, however, began even earlier in the 15th century, with Jean Gosset cultivating vineyards in Aÿ. By 1584, Pierre Gosset established a still wine trading house, predating sparkling Champagne production by over a century. Over the years, Gosset wines graced royal tables, even appearing at the coronation of Charles X in 1825. For 16 generations, the family has upheld their winemaking traditions. Today, Gosset represents seven centuries of Champagne expertise, embodying heritage through its prestigious status and unique accolades. Gosset’s commitment to heritage extends beyond its own legacy; the annual Trophée Gosset recognises individuals and institutions dedicated to preserving heritage, from culinary arts to broader cultural contributions, while ‘Gosset Matchmakers’ is a food and wine pairing competition for rising chefs and sommeliers in the UK. Sourcing primarily from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, Head Winemaker Odilon de Varine crafts Champagnes with remarkable depth, elegance, freshness and longevity that define its signature style.
The longstanding Gosset tradition continues of crafting rosé Champagnes through a process of double blending. After blending the red wine component with the white wine base, vinification took place in stainless steel vats with traditional ageing. Malolactic conversion was carefully avoided to showcase the House’s fresh signature style and preserve the naturally fruity aromas. Bottling took place late spring following the harvest, prior to ageing on the lees in the cellar, for a minimum of four years. Dosage was precisely adjusted to balance freshness and vinosity without compromising the Champagne’s character and purity. Post-disgorgement, this cuvée was returned to the cellars for at least six months to allow the smooth integration of the 4g/l dosage.
