Gosset : Cuvée Extra-Brut

An Extra-Brut champagne that is precise and indulgent

The property

Inheriting a traditional know-how, the Champagne Gosset House perpetuates its style through the centuries. The Gosset family has been established in Aÿ, a Grand Cru of Champagne since the 16th century. For 16 generations, the Gosset House has perpetuated the excellence of which the guardian is today Odilon de Varine, cellar master and deputy general manager of the house. The champagnes of the house are recognizable notably by the shape of their bottle, a legacy of the "antique" flasks used in the 18th century.
