2012 Gosset Celebris Champagne


Very rare, only made in the greatest of vintages.
Only made 9 times in the past 35 years!


2012 Gosset Celebris Champagne....$216.99
“The 2012 Celebris makes its case as the finest release of the house in recent times, marrying taut and precise Chardonnay (that includes the freshness of cooler crus Cuis and Grauves) with a supporting frame of fragranced Pinot Noir to delicate yet persistently complex effect. Toasted almond, citrus peel and ripe pear are brought forward by sweet, fragrant cherry, strawberry tart and orange blossom notes, the structure narrow but filled out with subtle nougat richness and a powdery, chalky length. A quiet, elegant mousse. Integrated, focused and ageworthy.”
Rated 96/100 Decanter Magazine
"A fresh Champagne, with a fine, lively mousse, this shows a seamlessly knit range of blackberry, grilled macadamia nut and preserved lemon flavors, while a tangy hint of sea salt crackles on the lingering finish."
Rated 93/100 The Wine Spectator


2015 Gosset Vintage Champagne...$99.99
Glorious ripeness on the nose, expressed as ripe quince with an aromatic note of Kirsch, candied cherry and shortcrust, immediately sets the tone, promising richness. In true Gosset fashion, that richness is present in aromatics since the palate remains absolutely taut, fine and lacy. Poise and elegance are foremost, vivid freshness is constantly renewed with every tiny, bursting, creamy bubble. A feat to pack so much expression into such slenderness. Gorgeous
