2008 Gosset "Célebris" Extra Brut Champagne
96
James Suckling
Review Date: 05/2023Such a concise and laser-focused wine with tight layers of crushed stones, praline, frangipani flowers, green apples, lemons, hazelnuts, pastries and salted almonds. Very tight bubbles here. So clear and structured, with a long and mineral finish. Still reserved. 54% chardonnay and 46% pinot noir. 4.8g/L dosage.

Notes
The Célebris is a true tête de cuvée, made in tiny quantities from the best wines available to Gosset and aged for longer than even Krug vintage. Don't miss it, we only received 60 bottles! -Gary Westby 97 pts, Falstaff: "The nose of the golden wine immediately radiates creaminess, a soft richness that is reminiscent of freshly baked apricot and almond tart and red apple flesh, laced with fine, heady notions of freshly zested Tarocco orange peel. The palate is as creamy as the nose suggests, yet has the poise and the beautiful, salty depth of 2008. A lovely phenolic edge reminds of bitter almond and apple pip, this sits well with the sinuous, toned and lightly salty richness, the ultra-fine mousse and that lovely streak of ripe lemon zest. Gorgeous." (AK, 1-2022)
