Gosset, Celebris Blanc de Blancs, Champagne 2012
This is Gosset’s first vintage blanc de blancs release,Yohan Castaing. ‘The initial nose is quite shy, but coaxing reveals a character expressing white fruit such as pear and spring flowers enhanced by pastry and citrussy notes,’ Castaing said, rating the wine at 95 points. ‘The palate has a suave, even mouthcoating texture and remarkable depth that is beautifully sustained by chalky salinity and a gorgeous grapefruit taste.’ He also suggested the wine, disgorged in March 2022, could benefit from a decade of further ageing. The Whisky Exchange was offering the wine at £225 a bottle.
