Christian Gosset

Chouilly Sorangeon 2016 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Christian Gosset's cuvée Chouilly Sorangeon Grand Cru 2016 is a Blanc de Blancs champagne of great finesse.

It is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Sorangeon vineyard on the Grand Cru terroir of Chouilly. This is an east-facing parcel, where the chalk outcrops. The 50-year-old vines planted here produce grapes of immense purity and finesse.

Christian Gosset's cuvée Chouilly Sorangeon Grand Cru 2016 is vinified in oak barrels, adding roundness and a certain patina to the wine.

After 3 years in the house cellars, the cuvée is disgorged and not dosed, to preserve all the finesse and purity of the terroir.

This Blanc de Blancs champagne has a yellow color with green highlights. Its bubbles are fine and lively.

On the nose, this cuvée reveals pretty floral notes, a touch of wood, and on the second nose, hints of caramel.

On the palate, Christian Gosset's Chouilly Sorangeon Grand Cru 2016 opens with a straightforward attack, evolving into a pulpy, airy sensation. On the mid-palate, the wine melts, supported by a beautiful tension. The finish is focused on salinity and chalk.

A champagne that goes perfectly with warm oysters, langoustines or crayfish.
