Tasting Note:

The Gosset Grand Blanc de Blancs Brut is a non-vintage Champagne crafted entirely from Chardonnay grapes, giving it a character that’s both elegant and lively. Here’s a breakdown of what you might expect on the nose and palate:

Aroma:

  • Mineral notes: Derived from the Kimmeridgian soils where the grapes are grown, these can present as a touch of flintiness or chalkiness.

  • Citrus: Hints of lemon zest or grapefruit peel add a refreshing brightness.
  • Stone fruits: Look for subtle aromas of white peach, apricot, or mirabelle plum, adding a touch of sweetness.
  • Honey: A hint of honey can provide a touch of richness and warmth.

Palate:

  • Crisp acidity: A hallmark of Champagne, the acidity provides a lively and refreshing character.
  • Citrus flavors: The citrus notes from the aroma carry through on the palate, offering a tangy counterpoint to the richer flavors.
  • Tree fruits: Flavors of green apple, pear, or quince may emerge, adding complexity.
  • Minerality: The mineral notes from the nose reappear on the palate, giving the wine a sense of depth and structure.
  • Toasty notes: Subtle hints of toast or brioche can develop with age, adding a touch of complexity.

Overall, The Gosset Grand Blanc de Blancs Brut is a well-balanced Champagne that showcases the elegance of Chardonnay grapes. It’s a versatile food pairing choice, ideal with seafood, poultry, or even creamy cheeses.

Food Pairing:

The Gosset Grand Blanc de Blancs Brut, with its crisp acidity and refreshing citrus character, shines when paired with a variety of dishes. Here are some excellent food pairings to consider:

Seafood:

  • Perfect Match: This Champagne is a classic pairing with all sorts of seafood. Seared scallops, grilled halibut, lobster rolls, or even a simple platter of oysters on the half shell are all excellent choices. The wine’s acidity cuts through the richness of the seafood, while the citrus notes complement its natural flavors.
  • Adventurous Pairing: If you’re feeling adventurous, try the Gosset with a crudo dish, like thinly sliced raw fish with a light citrus dressing. The Champagne’s minerality will beautifully complement the delicate flavors of the raw fish.

Poultry:

  • Great Match: Roast chicken or roasted turkey with fresh herbs are fantastic choices. The wine’s acidity will help balance the richness of the poultry, while the citrus notes complement any savory stuffing or roasted vegetables.
  • Interesting Pairing: For something different, try the Gosset with a pan-seared duck breast with a cherry sauce. The sweetness of the sauce will be balanced by the Champagne’s acidity, while the fruit notes will complement the cherry flavor.

Other Options:

  • Creamy Cheeses: The Champagne’s acidity can cut through the richness of creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert.
  • Appetizers: Gougères, small savory pastries made with cheese, are a classic Champagne pairing and work well with the Gosset.
  • Lighter Sauces: The Champagne can also pair well with lighter cream sauces or dishes with a touch of lemon or butter sauce.
