Grapes Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
Colour White
Origin France, Champagne
ABV 12%

Gosset's 2006 Grand Millésime Brut is still on the market, and the wine is very open and expressive by the house's standards, bursting from the glass with notes of crisp but sun-kissed yellow orchard fruit, pear, clear honey and warm biscuits. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, broad and creamy, with a fleshy, generous profile that's balanced by brisk acids and enlivened by a delicate pinpoint mousse, concluding with a subtly chalky finish.

Subtle putty aromas on the nose. Very dry and with some real interest and appetising energy here. Good stuff! Still pretty youthful and falls away a little on the end. Drinking range: 2016 - 2024 Rating: 17- Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2017)

Pinot Noir-based blend. A light dairy note, lemon curd on toast, strong autolytic brioche character and honeyed on the palate. Rich, mouth-filling and long. Almost chewy on the finish – lovely texture. Masses of sustained pleasure. Drinking range: 2016 - 2026 Rating: 17.5 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Dec 2016)

The 2006 Brut Grand Millésime offers more near term appeal than many Gosset Champagnes as the flavors show a good amount of complexity, while the contours are nicely mellowed. Hazelnut, savory herbs, anise, mint and dried pear meld into the generous, inviting finish. The typical Gosset energy is nicely balanced by the weight and soft, relaxed contours of a wine that is now nearly ten years old. Lightly honeyed and toasty notes round out the close. In 2006 the blend is 56% Pinot Noir and 44% Chardonnay from vineyards in Avize, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Trépail, Vertus, Ambonnay, Avenay, Aÿ, Chigny-les-Roses and Louvois.
