Gosset

Gosset is one of Champagne's oldest houses, established in Aÿ in 1584 by Pierre Gosset. The house remained family-owned for over four centuries before being acquired by the Renaud-Cointreau family in 1994. Based in the historic village of Aÿ in the Vallée de la Marne, Gosset produces traditional method sparkling wines exclusively within the Champagne appellation.

The house is known for its traditional winemaking approach, including the use of reserve wines aged in large oak foudres rather than stainless steel tanks. Gosset typically ferments their wines at lower temperatures and avoids malolactic fermentation for most cuvées, which helps preserve freshness and acidity. Their wines often display a more austere, mineral-driven style compared to many contemporary Champagne houses, with extended lees aging contributing to complexity and texture.

Gosset's current range includes their Grande Réserve Brut, a non-vintage cuvée that represents their house style through a blend of traditional Champagne grape varieties. This foundational wine demonstrates the house's commitment to consistency and their particular interpretation of the classic Champagne blend.
