Wine Spectator

Alison Napjus

A firm, focused Champagne, with hints of smoke and toasted brioche accenting poached apricot, lemon curd, pastry dough and candied ginger. Creamy on the palate, with racy acidity driving the spiced finish. Opens nicely in the glass and should benefit from some short-term cellaring. Best from 2025 through 2035. 150 cases imported.

Vinous

Antonio Galloni

A powerful, explosive Champagne, the 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs Celebris hits the palate with layers of exotic, resonant Chardonnay fruit. Savory, floral and earthy notes add dimension. Readers will find a dense, potent Blanc de Blancs for the dinner table. Exceptionally complex and beguiling, the 2012 will drink well for another decade, maybe more. This is the inaugural release of this particular cuvée. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged: March, 2022.

Falstaff

Light yellow-gold colour with silver reflections, very fine, persistent mousse. Fresh yellow apples with white flowers in the background, nuances of grapefruit and fresh biscuit, lemony and minty aspects. Complex, ripe orchard fruit, a hint of lime, precise, racy acidity, fine savoury notes, nuances of baked apple and nougat, fresh lemony yet also mineral and salty nuances on the finish, very good length, a multi-faceted food wine. (Deg. 3/2022, PM).

William Kelley

Gosset's 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs Celebris is showing beautifully, offering up aromas of crisp stone fruits, ripe pomelo, buttery pastry and flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise palate with a racy spine of acidity and a mouthwateringly chalky finish.

Description

The complexity and freshness of Gosset's first vintage Blanc de Blancs champagne

The estate

Heir to a traditional expertise, the Champagne Gosset House has perpetuated its style through the centuries. The Gosset family has been established in Aÿ, a Champagne Grand Cru, since the 16th century. For 16 generations, the Gosset House has upheld this excellence, now guarded by Odilon de Varine, cellar master and deputy managing director of the house. The house's champagnes are notably recognizable by the shape of their bottle, a legacy of the "antique" flacons used in the 18th century.

The vineyard

The Gosset House owns plots on the Grand and Premier Crus of Champagne, in the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The nearly 140 hectares of vineyards are planted across the crus of Cumières, Courmas, Chamery, Avenay, Vertus, Villers-Marmery, Grauves, Avize, Trépail, and Cuis.

The wine

Celebris Blanc de Blancs Vintage Brut 2012 is the Gosset House's first vintage Blanc de Blancs. Produced in limited quantities, this Brut champagne is crafted from a rigorous selection of grapes sourced from the villages of Ambonnay, Avize, Cramant, Cumières, Passy-sur-Marne, Trépail, Vertus, Villers-Marmery, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.

This 2012 vintage champagne, with a dosage of 7g/liter, benefited from 9 years of aging on the lees.

Blend

Chardonnay (100%).

Characteristics and tasting notes for Gosset's Celebris Blanc de Blancs Vintage Brut 2012

Tasting notes

Appearance
A beautiful golden hue, the color is adorned with subtle emerald highlights. The effervescence is remarkably fine.

Nose
Fresh and expressive, the nose reveals minty and fruity notes (strawberries, pink grapefruit) along with frangipane.

Palate
Precise, the attack is underpinned by refreshing citrus notes. As the tasting unfolds, the palate reveals a delicious complexity. Baked apples with salted butter, tarte tatin, far breton—these aromas blend harmoniously with a spicy touch (candied ginger, star anise). Lively and remarkably persistent, the finish captivates with its minerality, evoking fresh Reinette apple with a hint of citrus.

Food and wine pairing

Gosset's Celebris Blanc de Blancs Vintage Brut 2012 pairs ideally with white meats and poultry (braised veal, kidneys cooked in white Port), seafood (fish rillettes, scallop tartare, oysters, plancha-grilled fish), and cheese (parmesan).
