The 2002 Celebris Vintage Extra Brut displays a noble, clear, fresh and subtle bouquet with white fruit and brioche flavors intertwined with mineral aromas. Silky textured and highly elegant, this full-bodied yet delicate blend of 48% Pinot Noir and 52% Chardonnay is clear and straight on the palate, revealing a ripe and intense, yet refined fruit. It has a persistent and complex, firmly structured, stimulatingly pure and salty finish. Great finesse and ethereal lightness here, with great purity and mineral tension. It also has the intensity of perfect fruit in the long and persistent finish. A great Champagne for the next ten and probably many more years. Gosset's current range of Champagnes is amazing. The latest news, however, is very sad. Jean-Pierre Mareigner, cellar master at Champagne Gosset for more than 30 years, has died at age 60 in May this year.

A rich and harmonious wine, this dry, dense Champagne is shaped by finely wrought, mouthwatering acidity and refined texture. This is high-definition bubbly, with layer after layer of kumquat, coconut, fleur de sel, toasted brioche, ground coffee and vanilla flavors. Drink now through 2025. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 1,666 cases made. –AN
Producer
Gosset
Among the first producers in Champagne, with a history dating as far back as 1584, Gosset is technically the oldest Champagne House in the appellation. Located in the Grand Cru village of Aÿ, the estate is currently owned by the Frapin Cognac House lead by C.E.O. Jean Pierre Cointreau. Its origin of prestige and distinction, have guided more than four centuries of production. Gosset’s classic guarantee of excellence has made their Champagnes some of the most desired wines of all time. With a considerably smaller wine production when compared to the larger houses, Gosset focuses on quality rather than quantity. Each bottle contains a high proportion of Chardonnay, is recently disgorged, and does not follow malolactic fermentation – to ensure the natural fruitiness of the grapes. The non-vintage Brut Excellence is a reliable everyday Champagne, while the Grande Réserve, Grand Blanc de Blancs and Grand Rosé wines are equally delightful non-vintages. The house’s vintage wines are a step up however, the Grand Millésime, is their first ever produced single-vintage Champagne, a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Gosset’s top cuvée, made only in the best years with an extra low dosage is the Celebris Extra Brut, while the Celebris Rosé is a welcomed twist.
