96 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Falstaff): "Glorious ripeness on the nose, expressed as ripe quince with an aromatic note of Kirsch, candied cherry and shortcrust, immediately sets the tone, promising richness. In true Gosset fashion, that richness is present in aromatics since the palate remains absolutely taut, fine and lacy. Poise and elegance are foremost, vivid freshness is constantly renewed with every tiny, bursting, creamy bubble. A feat to pack so much expression into such slenderness. Gorgeous. (Jan 2022)"
96 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide (2024).
94 points Wine Spectator: "[$103 list] A firm, focused version, this swathes a chiseled spine of acidity in a raw, silky texture and finely meshed flavors of yellow peach, orange liqueur, honeycomb and chopped almond. A rich streak of salinity drives the well-cut, spiced finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2035. 200 cases imported. (11/30/22)"
94 points Ines Salpico (Decanter): "Now showing its full expressive potential this Pinot Noir-based 2015 shines with its vibrant plum, redcurrant and green apple notes. Chamomile, linden, hay and dry apple peel top an unctuous layer of almond croissant, frangipane and apple strudel. Vibrant with creamy, persistent mousse and a robust acid backbone. Long, moreish finish. Drinking Window: 2024-2031. (10/3/24)"
94 points Wine Enthusiast: "Having retained all its youthful acidity because there was no malolactic fermentation, the Champagne is brilliantly lit. Acidity and a light texture from the Pinot Noir in the blend give the wine a crisp edge with still-young citrus. Drink the wine from 2024. Alcohol 12%. (Dec 2022)"
93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2015 Brut Grand Millésime is terrific. Bright and intensely floral, the 2015 bristles with all the energy that is such a signature of the Gosset house style. White flowers, mint and crushed flowers open first. If I have a critique of Gosset is that the wines can be a bit austere. That is certainly not the issue here. The 2015 is distinguished by its sweet, resonant mid-palate and terrific depth. All the elements are so nicely balanced throughout. Drink: 2022-2030. (May 2022)"
93 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2023 in Australia; 41% chardonnay, 59% pinot noir; no oak; no malolactic fermentation; disgorged mid Nov 2021; 4 g/L dosage). Gosset's Millésime blend changes each vintage and this is the most pinot noir I've seen. The house style of blocking malolactic is ever more pertinent as temperatures continue to climb, and never more so than in a hot year like 2015. The malic drive and energy upheld here is dynamic and engaging, even in a blend with less chardonnay than ever. The house has done well to achieve flavour ripeness in this season in which so many failed, confidently establishing a crunchy core of red apple, beurre bosc pear and grapefruit. Five-and-a-half years on lees has coaxed out subtle almond meal, honey and spice nuances, though the theme here is confidently primary and youthful. The phenolic nature of this warm season lends some grip and bite to the finish, but it holds its own confidently and promises to age long. (Edition VII; 2024)"
93 points Sarah Mayo (The Wine Independent): "The Grand Millesime 2015 Brut brings an abundance of Gosset’s classic Pinot-driven style to the glass. 59% Pinot Noir and 41% Chardonnay, the 2015 unfurls with beautiful aromas of pear tart, quince paste, red currant, dried mango and crème brulée that carries through to a medium-bodied palate that has seamless, stimulating acidity spun around an abundance of orchard and red fruit concentration. Refreshing and full of vigor, it finishes long with a kiss of honey. Alcohol 12.5%. Drink: 2023-2033. (11/8/23)"
92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Composed of 59% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay, the 2015 Grand Millésime Brut is vibrant and ripe with fresh bread dough, grapefruit, and white flowers. It is pure on the palate, with ripe, crystalline pear and a beautifully clean stony texture. It will benefit from another couple of years in cellar and drink well 2024-2040. (11/7/22)"
