Style

- Grand Rosé — the house rosé.
- Grand Blanc de Blancs — Chardonnay-focused cuvée.
- Grand Millésime — vintage release.
- Celebris — prestige cuvée, released only in selected years.
History
The Gosset family produced wines in Aÿ from the late 16th century, before Champagne’s sparkling identity fully emerged. The house later adapted to sparkling champagne while preserving a reputation for firm, wine-like structure. It moved its main base to Épernay in the modern period.
Positioning
Gosset is a historic, gastronomy-oriented maison, prized by drinkers who favour freshness and savoury structure over overt sweetness or softness.
