are tending to move upmarket to more<br />
premium segments. This was what<br />

PRESENTATION: Founded in 1584, Champagne’s oldest<br />
wine house has shaped its signature style down through<br />
the centuries. Its ne wines are crafted using unique<br />
and deliberately selected winemaking techniques.<br />
Gosset Champagnes aim to create a skilul usion o<br />
reshness and vinosity and are produced based on a<br />
method that ully preserves the natural reshness o the<br />
ruit aromatics. Lengthy lees maturation in its cellars<br />
subsequently develops roundness and complexity in the<br />
wine, and creates incredibly delicate bubbles. This<br />
Gosset Celebris Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2012 epitomises<br />
the company’s adage: “A ne wine beore becoming a<br />
ne Champagne”. This is the house’s very rst vintage<br />
Blanc de Blancs and it comes as a limited edition o just<br />
15,000 bottles.<br />
