Gosset Celebris Vintage 2007 – Magnum

Ageing for a minimum of 10 years in the cellar results in a beautifully complex and structured wine. This is an excellent wine for laying down. Vinified and aged on lees to eliminate all risk of premature oxidation.
Malolactic fermentation is carefully avoided in order to preserve all the natural fruit aromas of the wine and to allow the wines to undergo longer ageing.
A sparkling, pale yellow colour with a string of fine, discreet bubbles. The nose is complex with smoky notes and hazelnut overtones. A very fresh nose which, as it warms slightly in the glass, reveals minty, even slightly spicy notes.
Very fine tension on the palate with volume and a crispness carried through to the middle palate with notes of brioche. The delightful sharpness of Chardonnay reappears on the finish with a hint of pink grapefruit.
