Gosset Brut Rosé Champagne 12 Ans de Cave à Minima NV

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "Long aging in Gosset's cellars has given this rosé Champagne great richness. It is still textured and nervy with a line of minerality alongside the freshness. It is now a perfectly mature wine that is ready to drink. Alcohol 12%. (May 2024)"

94 points Wine Spectator: "[$200 list] A vibrant rosé Champagne, with firm, well-honed acidity deftly wrapped in a smooth texture and rich notes of marzipan, dried white cherry, blood orange peel and salted Marcona almond. Reveals hints of ground ginger, lemon thyme and wet chalk, with a long, lasting finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2030. 150 cases imported. (11/30/23)"

94 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): " Spending a minimum of 12 years on the lees between bottling and disgorgement, with the base vintages of 2007 and 2008, the NV Champagne 12 Ans Rose pours a more salmon-orange hue with a bit more pigment. It’s expressive on opening, with a lush perfume of apricot, jasmine, and fresh croissant dough. The mousse is seamless, with a savory flourish on the finish. This is a more gastronomic expression to enjoy over the coming 15-20 years. Disgorgement in March of 2021. (11/17/23)"

94 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Decanter): "The amber-golden colour of the wine is flecked with pink and the nose opens with notions of rosehip tisane and dried raspberry leaf. The palate is both super-creamy and brisk, testament to Gosset’s non-malolactic style. Interchanging notions of sourdough and salty shortbread denote the long ageing. While fruit has receded, there is a certain Pinot-driven generosity and ample juiciness. The palate remains absolutely fresh and poised with a very fine mousse and a textural richness that speaks of profound chalk. This has all the makings of a gastronomic Champagne. Drinking Window: 2023-2040. (3/21/23)"

94 points Sarah Mayo (The Wine Independent): "Based on the 2010 vintage, the Gosset 12 Ans de Cave à Minima Rosé is 65% Chardonnay and 35% Pinot Noir of which 8% is still wine. As the name suggests, the cuvée is aged a minimum of 12 years on fine lees before disgorgement with a 4.5 grams per liter dosage. On the eyes it displays a beautiful coral hue and super fine mousse, then reveals a nose that is equally as enchanting with notes of rhubarb pie, candied red grapefruit and cherry preserves. Medium to full-bodied and with a finely textured mousse, the palate explodes with pinpoint bursts of ripe citrus and savory red fruit that interlace beautifully with incisive, chalky acidity before ending in a long, savory finish. Alcohol 12.5%. Drink: 2023-2035. (11/8/23)"

94 points/'Le Coup de Coeur,' La Revue du Vin de France: "The rosés are superb... Cuvée 12 Ans is timeless. Its finesse and complexity transport us into a world of meditation. (2025)"

93 points Essi Avellan, MW: "(65% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir). In 2023 Gosset released for the first time a long lees-aged version of its Grand Rosé, which has spent a hefty 12 years on lees. Disgorged October 2022, and a mere 7000 bottles were released. Evolved peachy colour with onionskin tones. The aromas are on the tertiary side with dried apricots, orange marmalade, dried flowers and sousbois. There is fine vinosity to the palate that is remaining superbly fresh thanks to the high acidity that carries it. Even if the aromas are evolved, there is not shortage of fruit. A really intriguing gastonomic companion. (Aug 2023)"
