Gosset Brut Rosé Champagne Grand Rosé NV

93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The current release of Gosset’s 'Grand Rosé' non-vintage Brut is composed from a blend of fifty percent each of chardonnay and pinot noir, with eight percent of the pinot noir being still red wine to give the bottling its beautiful salmon color. The wine is from the base year of 2014 and includes ten percent reserve wines from the previous vintage. It was disgorged in 2019 after four years aging sur latte and finished with a dosage of eight grams per liter. The wine delivers a refined aromatic constellation of tangerine, watermelon, a hint of rhubarb, a beautiful base of chalky soil tones, fresh-baked bread and a topnote of rose petals. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a superb core, lovely mineral undertow, refined mousse and a long, zesty and impeccably balanced finish. As this is a non-malo wine, it has years and years of life still ahead of it, but the wine is drinking splendidly today. 2023-2045+. (May/Jun 2023)"

92 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(2016 base vintage; disgorged last week of Nov 2021; tasted in 2023 in Australia; 55% chardonnay, 45% pinot noir; predominantly Ambonnay, Ay, Bouzy, Chouilly, Verzenay and Villers-Marmery; 5% reserves; no oak; no malolactic fermentation; 8% pinot noir red wine from Ambonnay, Bouzy and Cumières; aged at least 4 years on lees; 8.5g/L dosage). There's a distinctly savoury and secondary mood to Gosset Rosé in recent years, now boasting a copper-bronze hue, a likely consequence of an absence of addition of preservative at bottling. In the 2016 base, memories of red apple, strawberry, raspberry and red cherry fruit are now strongly accented with layers of roast hazelnuts, toast, mixed spice, sarsaparilla, even exotic glimpses of eastern spice. Fine, well-gauged tannins meld seamlessly with saline chalk minerality, guiding a finish of subtle, supple fruit persistence. (Edition VII; 2024)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "[$94 list] A firm rosé Champagne with a fine, lacy mousse. The racy acidity and subtle thread of minerality are enmeshed with notes of white cherry and raspberry fruit, blood orange, Marcona almond and biscuit that expand on the palate and through the mouthwatering finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2027. 550 cases imported. (8/19/24)"

92 points James Suckling: "A fruity and open rosé champagne with notes of red apples, raspberries, brioche and honey. Touch of balsamic. Medium-bodied, with soft bubbles and a broad, inviting array of red berry fruit. Nicely dry and fresh at the end. 50% chardonnay and 50% pinot noir, based on the 2016 harvest with 8% reserve wines, with 8% red wine. Disgorged October 2022. 8g/L dosage. Drink now. (7/31/23)"

92 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Seductive, Grand Rosé offers sincere fruit. A serious rosé blend, which now pleases with its delicacy. (2024)"
