Description
Gosset is the oldest wine house in Champagne. It was founded in Aÿ in 1584 by Pierre Gosset an alderman and wine-grower who made mostly red wines. At that time the region’s still wines competed for pride of place on the best tables of France with the wines of Beaune which were made from the same grape varieties as they are today.
In the 18th century Gosset joined their neighbours and began to make the sparkling wines for the first time. It was at this time that the house adopted the unique antique flask-shaped bottle that is still used today.
Gosset’s wines are characterised by their purity and expressiveness. Grapes come mainly from premier and grand cru vineyards surrounding Epernay and their winemaking style is characterised by minimal intervention, extended ageing and no malolactic fermentation. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the house’s focus.

2015 Bollinger La Grande Annee, Ay
Champagne Blend
Only made in the best years, the Bollinger Grande Annee is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay fermented in oak. The 2015 has stone fruits, plum and honey on the nose initially, with more red fruits coming through. Plump, rich and generous on the palate with red fruits and plum giving way to citrus acidity and an elegant vein of minerality. Enjoyable now, this terrific wine will age gracefully for years to come.
