Tasting notes:

Based in the heart of Épernay, Champagne Gosset has long been a proponent of the Pinots for their Grande Réserve, which is aged for a minimum of 4 years on the lees. The wine is pale white-gold in colour with tiny bubbles and a narrow cordon. Ripe yellow pear, peach and red berry fruit are accented with toast and butter. Brut-style (7g/l r.s.), the palate is generous and delicious, quite sappy with nicely integrated crisp acidity and creamy mousse texture and a hint of spice adding interest to the long finish. Complex, the wine is a good match for pork medallions sautéed with white mushrooms in white wine sauce. [Patricia Stefanowicz MW]
