NV Gosset Grande Rose Brut Champagne

(90 points) Complex aromas and flavors of yeast, apple and dried flowers mark this effusive, fresh rosé. Nice weight and balance, with everything in the right proportion. Drink now. –BS  Wine Spectator

IN THE GLASS:

Delicate color of salmon-pink rose petals.

ON THE NOSE:

An explosion of strawberry flavors. Rich expressive notes of fresh strawberries underlined with hints of concentrated strawberry jam. A bowl of ripe strawberries covered with a spoonful of stewed strawberries with a lovely freshness.

ON THE PALATE:

The palate is well structured with a perfect balance of freshness and roundness of fruit. It is dominated by voluptuous flavours of red fruit such as wild strawberries delivering a sweet, enveloping sensation. A beautifully accessible champagne when young, but on cellaring well it will keep or even intensify its beauty.

FOOD MATCHES:

With the last “vibrant” strawberries picked from the garden! Plump, juicy and sweet. Fruits suit it well due to their soft side, reflecting its youth. Foie gras for boldness and the quest for richness and sweetness around the base built on the wine’s strength. A partnership dominated by strength and tenderness.
