Gosset Brut Grand Blanc de Blancs Champagne NV

95 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Decanter): "The most subtle lemony cloud hovers above a certain chalkiness on the nose. Utter subtlety also characterises the super-svelte palate that is as light as a feather, yet conveys great depth and creamy softness. The freshness seems buffered by chalk, the mousse serves to remind you that this is actually Champagne, so breezy, so light, so elegant is this. A wonderful combination of depth and weightlessness. Drinking Window: 2020-2030. (Oct 2020)"

94 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(2013 base vintage; disgorged April 2018; 100% chardonnay; predominantly from longstanding growers in Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Chouilly, Cramant, Villers-Marmery, Trépail and Ambonnay; 6g/L dosage). The Gosset house style of refined minerality and thrilling malic acidity has shone in its blanc de blancs since its inaugural 2011 base release, and never more brilliantly than it does in this 2013 base of bright, pale straw hue. Youthful purity and focus rise with grand cru fruit presence and impressive concentration of pinpoint lemon and generous white peach, pear and golden delicious apple. This pristine fruit melds seamlessly with the brioche, almond nougat, shortbread, fresh vanilla and spice of lees age, and reductive nuances of struck flint. Ripe yet full and energetic malic acidity brings drive and focus to a finish of impressive length and tension, energising frothing salt minerality of heightened presence. It holds excellent harmony and poise on the finish, with fruit, minerality, dosage and malic acidity intricately entwined and uplifting. A thrilling blanc de blancs with the confidence to hold its poise for many years to come. (2020-2021)"

94 points Wine Spectator: "[$112 list] A vivid Champagne, with firm, mouthwatering acidity enmeshed with a lovely range of poached pear and nectarine, blanched almond, white blossoms and candied lemon peel. Fine and creamy in texture, with a streak of salinity chiming in on the minerally finish. Drink now through 2030. 188 cases imported. (9/25/24)"

94 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Falstaff): "A touch of flint, fresh lemon zest and exquisite creaminess characterise the nose. The palate is taut and sleek, utterly fresh and bright but bedded in softest, finest mousse. This most delicious contradiction delivers utter refreshment and harmonious balance in equal measure. Beautiful depth shimmers on the long, bone-dry and fresh finish. (8/8/21)"

93 points James Suckling: "This has a complex nose of sourdough, parmesan, oyster shells, dried pineapples and lemons. It’s medium-bodied, sharp and structured on the palate, with fantastic phenolic tension and underlying chalky minerality. Tight mousse. 100% chardonnay from Cotes des Blancs. Based on 2018 harvest. Disgorged September 2022. 5.5g/L dosage. Drink or hold. (7/31/23)"
