Champagne Gosset2012 Celebris Brut, Champagne Gosset (Wooden Gift Box)
Champagne, FranceVintage: 2012
“The Pinnacle of Purity”
Brilliant gold with a fine, persistent bead, the 2012 Celebris Brut opens with layered aromas of citrus blossom, pear, and ripe apple, woven with notes of brioche, almond, and chalk. On the palate it is precise and powerful, orchard fruit and lemon curd carried by racy acidity and a crystalline mineral line. The mousse is creamy yet restrained, allowing the wine’s tension and depth to shine. Long, elegant, and effortlessly poised, it is a Champagne of both grace and intensity.
For when: the occasion deserves nothing less than extraordinary.
Pairs with: lobster, turbot, or simply a moment worth remembering.
If this wine were light, it’d be sunrise breaking over snow-capped peaks.
Produced only in the finest vintages, Celebris is Gosset’s crown jewel – a cuvée crafted with uncompromising precision and aged extensively to reveal both purity and complexity. The 2012 vintage is a masterful expression of structure, freshness, and longevity, destined to reward patience for years to come.

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.
This exceptional cuvée is the very first edition of Gosset Celebris Blanc de Blancs Vintage, and is distinguished by its rarity. Vinification took place in stainless steel vats with traditional ageing. Malolactic conversion was carefully avoided to showcase the House’s fresh signature style and retain the naturally fruity aromas. The Champagne was cellared in 2013. Dosage was precisely adjusted to balance freshness and vinosity without compromising the character and purity. This cuvée was disgorged in March 2022 and post-disgorgement; it was returned to the cellars to allow the smooth integration of the 7g/l dosage.
