Champagne, FranceFounded in Aÿ in 1584 by Pierre Gosset, Champagne Gosset is the oldest wine house in Champagne. For 17 generations, Gosset was family-owned, but in 1993 it was sold to the Cointreau family from Charente, owners of Frappin Cognac. A "newer" release for the house, the BdB was first released in 2011. Fruit comes from across the appellation, including the Montagne de Reims (up to 1/3), Sezannais, Vitryat, and of course the Côtes de Blancs. This bottle was based on 2018, with 10% reserve wines, and was disgorged in late 2022 with 7 g/L. Though I'm always skeptical of clear bottles for sparkling wines due to light strike, the winery reports they have 30% more sales when packaging this in clear glass vs shaded glass. Tight green apple, oyster liqueur, and subtle anise hum across a direct, finely chalky core, with ample freshness still, and a lingering finish. Drinking now, smartly.Tasted: 04 December 2025Tasted by: Prices:

For 17 generations, Gosset was family-owned, but in 1993 it was sold to the Cointreau family from Charente, owners of Frappin Cognac. A newer release for the house, the BdB was first released in 2011. A third of the fruit comes from Montagne de Reims, aiding its structure. This bottle was based on 2018, with 10% reserve wines, and was disgorged in late 2022 with 7 g/L. Red and green apple is scented with ample toast, and finishing with fresh oats and a lemon twist. Not a shy wine, this can easily handle protein pairings.Tasted: 20 November 2024Tasted by: Prices:

Champagne, FranceThe Blanc des Blancs Brut is the newest label from the oldest champagne producer. This wine is simply delicious, hitting the mid-section between elegance, finesse and persistence. It’s amazingly complex for a single variety (chardonnay wine) which points to blending multiple lots and sites form the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The acidity is electric, yet tamed by smoky, toasty, creamy textures. Lemons, apricots, sea salt, hazelnuts and nectarines create complex flavours that won’t quit. Gosset, located in the miniscule Grand Cru village of Aÿ, is the oldest known Champagne producer with origins back to 1584. Since 1994 the Frapin Cognac house has owned Gosset with Jean Pierre Cointreau running both companies. Current production is small at an estimated 1.3 million bottles. All Gosset champagnes are RD or ‘recently disgorged,’ without malolactic fermentation.Tasted: 09 December 2017Tasted by: Prices:
