Gosset Grande Reserve: The Embodiment of Style and Elegance

Discover the Grande Reserve of Champagne Gosset, a champagne that perfectly illustrates the know-how and authenticity of this historic house, the oldest wine house in Champagne, founded in 1584. This cuvée is a true masterpiece of winemaking, combining tradition and innovation to offer a unique tasting experience.

The Gosset Style: A Tradition of Excellence

The house of Gosset stands out with its unique style, characterized by powerful, vinous and balanced champagnes. The Grande Reserve reflects this heritage with its aromatic complexity and elegance, making it an essential cuvée for champagne lovers.

A Harmonious Blend

The Grande Reserve is an exquisite blend of 45% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Meunier. Part of this blend includes reserve wines that add a beautiful patina. This subtle combination gives the cuvée a great personality and a perfect harmony. The Pinots contribute a delicate fruitiness and a robust structure, while the Chardonnay adds freshness and finesse.

Vinification and Aging: An Ancestral Know-how

At Gosset, vinification is an art. The wines do not undergo malolactic fermentation, thus preserving their freshness and vivacity. After bottling in the spring following the harvest, the champagnes are aged in the cellars for a minimum of four years. This meticulous process develops rich aromas and a silky texture, characteristic of Gosset champagnes.

Odilon de Varine: The Master Craftsman

Under the expert guidance of Odilon de Varine, cellar master since 2006, each bottle of Grande Reserve benefits from meticulous attention. His expertise guarantees a consistent quality and a faithful expression of the Gosset style.
