Gosset Brut Champagne Grand Millésime 2016

94 points Wine Spectator: "[$112 list] Concentrated flavors of crème de cassis, grilled nut, dried pineapple, toasted brioche and Grand Marnier liqueur are sculpted by chiseled acidity in this rich yet racy Champagne. A subtle tang of salinity emerges on the lingering, creamy finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2036. 200 cases imported. (12/15/24)"

94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2016 Brut is a gorgeous Champagne from Gosset. It offers striking textural richness to balance the vibrancy Gosset is so well known for. Dried pear, chamomile, baked apple tart and spice build in this vinous, beautifully resonant Brut. The 2016 is an extremely versatile Champagne that will be delicious before a meal or at the dinner table. This is a stellar showing. Drink: 2024-2036. (Mar 2024)"

94 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Pale straw-hued, the 2016 Champagne Grand Millésime Brut is fruity and floral on the nose, with notes of fresh roses and red-berried fruit. It’s peachy and fresh on the palate, with a refined mousse and a classic feel, with a fresh if not somewhat delicate feel throughout the finish. I like this a lot. Drink over the coming 15 years. Drink: 2024-2040. (12/20/24)"

93 points Falstaff Guide: "Light golden yellow in colour with silver reflections, and a fine mousse. On the nose, a hint of fresh apple and ripe vine peach, some shortcake, and candied orange zest. The palate is juicy and elegant, with fresh acidity, a hint of sun-ripened fruit, nuances of peach, and a citrus-saline finish, a lively child of its sunny vintage, a delicate food wine. (10/17/24)"

92 points Tom Hewson (Decanter): "Pouring a mid-gold in colour, Gosset's 2016 vintage emerges nicely aligned and full of easy charm, with juicy stone fruit and citrus Chardonnay – Mirabelle plums and clementines – very true to the sunny side of the year. Beneath this, the Pinot plays on delicacy and fragrance with red apple and raspberry, touched by an appealing dried chamomile side. There's a lick of fruit-skin grip here, but little in the way of tension or challenging acidity given Gosset's belief in blocking malolactic fermentation; it's svelte and flowing, but open for business. Drinking Window: 2024-2030. (Mar 2024)"
