Gosset launches new cuvee
30th June, 2011 by Rupert MillarChampagne Gosset has added a new Champagne to its range of vintage blends, the Grand Blanc de Blancs.
The new addition joins the house’s Grande Réserve, Grand Rosé and Grand Millésime. Combining the 2003, 2004 and 2005 vintages, the blanc de blancs is made from Chardonnay from 15 villages and is aged for five years prior to ageing.
International director Philippe Manfredini commented: “This new blend is the very essence of Champagne: it is a wine bursting with finesse, elegance and freshness.
“Full of complexity and aromas, it demonstrates perfectly the blending skills of our cellar master and is an exceptional cuvée. More than a Grand Blanc de Blancs, this is a Grand Gosset Champagne.”
Available through McKinley Vintners and priced at £69 a bottle, the Grand Blanc de Blancs will be released in the UK in the early autumn.
