{"product_id":"champagne-gosset-celebris-rose-brut","title":"Champagne Gosset Celebris Rosé Brut","description":"\u003cp\u003eChampagne Gosset Celebris Rosé Brut 2008 is a rare, prestige cuvée from the oldest wine house in Champagne, crafted only in truly exceptional vintages. Fine, pale and delicately tinted in the classic “œil de perdrix” style, it offers remarkable depth and complexity while remaining bright and precise. With over 12 years of aging before release, this is a rosé Champagne for collectors and serious enthusiasts looking for nuance, tension and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Celebris Rosé 2008 shows a very subtle, shimmering salmon hue with copper and onion-skin highlights—more like a pale ‘œil de perdrix’ than a classic pink rosé—crowned by a fine, persistent mousse.\n\nThe nose opens with a beautifully layered bouquet of yellow orchard fruits (pear, mirabelle plum, baked apple) intertwined with notes of beeswax, acacia honey, pain d’épices, brioche and delicate red-berry accents. Hints of citrus zest, dried flowers and chalky minerality add lift and refinement.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet impeccably brisk, with a broad, mouth-filling attack that quickly tightens around a deep, chiselled core of acidity. Flavours of ripe orchard fruit, blood orange, subtle wild strawberry and spice cake are framed by a saline, mineral backbone and a very long, precise finish. The extra-brut dosage of 5 g\/L keeps the profile taut and dry without sacrificing texture or generosity. Thanks to its high natural acidity and the deliberate avoidance of malolactic fermentation, this 2008 has excellent aging potential; it is already stunning, but will continue to develop greater complexity and tertiary nuances over the next 10–15 years or more in a good cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGosset sources the grapes for Celebris Rosé 2008 primarily from some of the finest crus in the Marne, including Aÿ, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Villers-Marmery—villages that are predominantly Grand Cru and Premier Cru, with an average vineyard rating of around 95% on the official échelle des crus. These sites offer a combination of chalk-rich soils and ideal exposures, yielding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with both ripeness and high natural acidity. Harvesting is carried out by hand to ensure careful selection of perfectly healthy bunches. In the cellar, Gosset rigorously avoids malolactic fermentation to preserve the wine’s malic acidity, freshness and primary fruit character. The rosé component is achieved with great restraint to create the pale “œil de perdrix” colour, focusing not on making a typical rosé but on giving Celebris extra depth and richness. After the secondary fermentation in bottle, the wine undergoes an extended maturation on the lees in Gosset’s cool cellars for a minimum of 6 years before disgorgement, followed by an additional 5–6 years of post-disgorgement aging—over 12 years in total for this vintage—before release as an Extra Brut with a dosage of 5 g\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis refined yet powerful rosé Champagne is a superb match for gastronomic cuisine. It pairs beautifully with dishes like lobster or langoustines, scallops with beurre blanc, turbot in a delicate cream sauce, roasted guinea fowl, duck breast with cherries, or veal sweetbreads. It also works wonderfully with refined Japanese cuisine (toro sashimi, tuna tataki), and with aged hard cheeses or mild washed-rind cheeses. Serve at 10–12°C (50–54°F) to allow the aromatics and texture to unfold. Decanting is not essential, but gently pouring into large tulip-shaped Champagne glasses 15–20 minutes before serving will help the wine open up and reveal its full complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1584 by Pierre Gosset, a councillor and winegrower in Aÿ, Gosset is widely recognized as the oldest wine house in Champagne. Originally producing still red wines from the vineyards around Aÿ, the estate transitioned over the centuries to the sparkling wines that made the region famous, while maintaining a strong attachment to its historic terroirs. Today, Gosset is celebrated for its uncompromising, gastronomic style, marked by the strict avoidance of malolactic fermentation and a focus on top Grand Cru and Premier Cru sites. The Celebris range represents the pinnacle of the house’s production and is only made in outstanding years, reinforcing Gosset’s reputation as one of Champagne’s benchmark producers for ageworthy, characterful wines that showcase the depth and finesse of the Marne’s finest crus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gosset","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251805114705,"sku":"GCW-GOSS-08101","price":178.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/Champagne_Gosset_Celebris_Ros_Extra_Brut.png?v=1783441527","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/champagne-gosset-celebris-rose-brut","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
