CHAMPAGNE GOSSET CELEBRIS ROSÉ 2008 BRUT
The exceptional limited-edition cuvée
More than a Champagne, Gosset Celebris Rosé 2008 is above all a Grand Vin. This exceptional cuvée is the result of unique expertise in terroir selection and blending. It’s a meticulous job, carried out by
the cellar masters, to select parcels worthy of a Grand Vin, revealing the Gosset style.
Gosset Celebris is the fruit of a remarkable harvest, which is so obvious. At harvest time, blind tastings of the musts orchestrated the decision to create this cuvée, for which substance, freshness, minerality, depth, structure and longevity are the key words. Very few years offer the right conditions to produce
this exceptional cuvée, the ultimate expression of the Gosset style.
THE 2008 WINEMAKING YEAR…
This was a year of complex climatic conditions.
The singularity of this vintage lies in the weather conditions at harvest time.
The weather was dry and sunny, cooling off after dark. The result:
elegant, lively, well-structured wines with great ripening potential.
ENTER THE CONFIDENCE
This vintage is only the 4th edition of Gosset Celebris Rosé in the last 25 years. This confidential cuvée is offered in a limited edition of 15,000 bottles. The CG monogram on the bottle highlights
the identity of the House’s most prestigious cuvées. The ultimate expression of the Gosset identity, Celebris represents 4 centuries
of expertise in the art of vinification, blending and ageing of exceptional crus. Only 7 white and 4 rosé vintages have been produced since the first cuvée, made from the 1988 harvest. This production, of the highest quality, is distinguished by its rarity.
THE IDENTITY OF THE CUVÉE
Organoleptic profile: its luminous, crystalline copper color reveals its long maturation in cellars.
On the nose, an aroma of strawberry jam, enhanced by spices (black pepper) and menthol, is followed by hints of
ripe summer fruits: peach, nectarine and apricot.
On the palate, the wine presents a gourmet tension: aromas of ripe black cherry are balanced by a note of blood orange bringing an enveloping acidic freshness.
The iodized finish recalls the minerality of the Chardonnays that dominate this blend.
Gosset Celebris Rosé 2008 has already been enjoyed with mushrooms, foie gras, poultry, lobster,
strawberries and citrus fruit. A thousand other pairings remain to be discovered according to your desires and creativity.
