Over 430 years old, the House of Gosset is regarded by connoisseurs as the ultimate in luxury when it comes to fizz. And top scores from the world’s critics for this Grande Reserve Brut bear this out. Pierre Gosset founded the business in 1584 and his wines were for centuries the favourite tipple of France’s kings and queens. Today Gosset is in the safekeeping of the Cointreau family, who play an active part in the running of this magnificent Champagne estate. Only Premier and Grand Cru grapes are ever used in the wines and, unusually for this region, no malolactic fermentation is permitted, to retain the full fruit character. Acidity simply mellows as the wine ages on its lees in bottle. Savour slowly as a glass solo or with fine cuisine.
