2016 Gosset "Grand Millésime" Brut Champagne

“Pale straw-hued, the 2016 Champagne Grand Millésime Brut is fruity and floral on the nose, with notes of fresh roses and red-berried fruit. It’s peachy and fresh on the palate, with a refined mousse and a classic feel, with a fresh if not somewhat delicate feel throughout the finish. I like this a lot. (AF)” (12/2024)

“Concentrated flavors of crème de cassis, grilled nut, dried pineapple, toasted brioche and Grand Marnier liqueur are sculpted by chiseled acidity in this rich yet racy Champagne. A subtle tang of salinity emerges on the lingering, creamy finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. (AN)” (12/2024)

“Gosset's 2016 vintage is a pretty, rather delicate take on the year thanks to its Chardonnay dominance (which is slightly unusual for the house), with Russet apple, apricot, cherry and blossom flavours emerging over toasted nut, oyster shell and sourdough complexity. It's restrained rather than overly fruity, with a compact, tapered palate. (TH)” (07/2025)
