Champagne Gosset 12 ans de cave a minima Brut NV

The last time I had this the wine was based on 1999. The Gosset 12 ans is based on 2006 vintage. This is an experience! The immediate flavours are savoury but it is still a fresh and lively drink. Walnut, macadamia, truffle, yeast, toast with brioche, caramel and honey. When the wine settles, you also see dehydrated peach, melons and candied lemon. The palate is fuller in weight, dry and clean with plenty of flavour. The bubbles are fine and light. I'd love to see this wine with crayfish or a mushroom risotto. I'd drink this over the next 12-18 months, and hopefully, they've got enough stocks to release this wine most years. Established in 1584, Gosset is one of the smallest Grande Marque Champagne producers. Whilst the Champagne that they produce has never been plentiful in quantity, they have distinguished themselves with the consistently superb quality. This is true throughout the entire range of Champagne they produce. Remaining a family owned house, the Gosset family sold the business to the Cointreau family nearly 20 years ago.
