Gosset Grand Blanc de Blancs

The latest rendition of Gosset's NV Brut Grand Blanc de Blancs reveals youthful aromas of citrus zest, white flowers and almond paste. Medium to full-bodied, bright and fleshy, with tangy acids and a pillowy mousse, it concludes with chalky grip. This Champagne's structure suggests that it should develop gracefully in the cellar.

Greenish deep straw colour. Quite a rich nose. And much more formulaic than the Leclerc Briant Réserve Brut based on 2017 tasted immediately before this. Tight, tense, emphatic and correct even if not exactly distinctive and inspiring.

A light, bright and lithe Champagne that has plenty of bright, toasty aromas with grapefruit and spiced lemon-biscuit notes. The palate is rich, smoothly fleshy and has attractive build and deep, lemon and grilled-nectarine flavors. Drink now.
