18/20 points - Decanter Magazine
Chardonnay 56%, Pinot Noir 35%, with 9% still Pinot Noir from Ambonnay. Grand cru 80%, Premier cru 20%. Bright and complex with cranberry and strawberry dominating the nose. Lovely, fresh, creamy-nutty red fruits, with good acid structure. Delightfully fresh. This is very good.

18"old aromas of orange blossom burst from the glass of this baby-pink fizz. The blend, which includes 56% Chardonnay, yields predominantly citruc flavours allied to a persistent, toasty yet floral, finish."

92"Bright orange. High-pitched, floral-accented aromas of citrus fruits, red berries and toasty lees. Sappy, concentrated strawberry and orange zest flavors are firmed by a nervy spine of acidity and gain weight with aeration. Taut and focused, with noteworthy finishing cut, thrust and length."

90"Unfortunately I was only able to taste one new wine from Gosset this year. The NV Brut Grand Rose is a big, structured Champagne. This comes across as a touch sweeter than is the norm here, but that just may be a factor of the wine's considerable fruit. All sorts of freshly cut flowers, berries and minerals come together in the glass. The wine gains volume and depth in the glass, showing the many shades of dimension that make it such a great choice for the dinner table. This is Lot L009 7110, disgorged March, 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015."

France
Wine is being produced throughout France and has been done for over 2,500 years with certain Châteaux dating their history back to Roman times, around 6th Century BC. Ranking second in the world in per-capita consumption and first in total production quantity. More so than the overall quantity of wine is the quantity of truly great wines coming out of France makes the nation the envy of wine-making nations worldwide.
Two concepts pivotal to the higher end French wines, in particular, are the idea of 'terroir' and the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) system. Terroir refers to the way the geography, geology and climate find their way into the glass, telling a story of the origin of the wine. The AOC was set up in 1935 and has the primary goal of protecting the authenticity of the wines and the livelihoods of the producers. Appellation rules strictly define which varieties of grapes and winemaking practices are approved for classification in each of France's several hundred geographically defined appellations, which can cover entire regions, individual villages or in some cases, like in Burgundy even specific vineyards.
Classic wine regions in France include Champagne (home of Champagne), Burgundy (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay), Bordeaux (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot), Alsace (Aromatic varietals), Loire Valley (Chenin Blanc, Crémant) and the Rhône Valley (Syrah, Grenache Mourvedre)
The Bordeaux classification of 1855 is still in use, as is the Sauternes and Barsac Classification of the same year. Wines from certain regions can be bought En Primeur, which is when the wine is sold prior to it being bottled.
Champagne
Champagne is a wine region to the north-east of Paris where wine has been grown since the Romans first planted in the 5th century and the region is most well known for the sparkling wine that goes by the regions name.
Champagne is made from 3 grapes. The two red grapes Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier and the white grape Chardonnay. All three are commonly blended though a ‘blanc de blanc’ meaning ‘white from white’ indicates that only Chardonnay was used. Conversely a ‘blanc de noir’ or ‘white from black’ indicates that the two red grapes were used.
A common misconception is that Champagne was invented by Dom Pérignon. Although this is not the case, he made considerable contributions to the quality and production methods used in the region. The very first bottles of Champagne were created by accident, and coined ‘the devil’s wine’ for all the popping corks. Sparkling wine in Australia was referred to as Champagne but this practise has long been disallowed.
Methode Champenoise is the traditional method by which Champagne is produced and if you see Millisime on a bottle, it represents the fact that the wine comes from a particular vintage rather than being blended, which is the more common practice.
Icons such as Dom Pérignon and Kristal are world reknowned, but we find as much pleasure in the smaller Champagne houses such as Gosset and Jacquinot. Magnums are perfect for the festive occasions and half bottles are also available.

About the brand Gosset
Founded in 1584 in Ay, Champagne Gosset is the oldest wine house in Champagne. With the winery now located in Epernay, Gosset sources grapes from the best crus of the Marne district. The final blends feature grapes that meet, on average, a 95% on the official quality scale of classification.Upon inception, winemaker Pierre Gosset made still red wines. At this time, the court of France was only interested in wines from Ay and further South in Beaune. It was in the 18th century, that Gosset revised its model to produce sparkling wines in the traditional method. Using the classic Champagne varieties, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, Gosset now produces a range of Non-Vintage, Vintage, Rose and Blanc de Blancs wines of premium quality.Jean Gosset was the first family member to use the famous 'antique flask', a heavy, elegant bottle that became an icon and recognizable symbol of this premium house. For over four centuries, Gosset remained family-owned, until its sale in 1994.
