Aromatic Exploration

The first encounter with the Gosset Extra Brut NV Magnum is a captivating exploration of aromas. The nose is clean and clear, revealing a symphony of white flower fragrances. Delicate notes of acacia and hawthorn blossom mingle with the succulent aroma of ripe pear. Hints of citrus add a touch of vibrancy, creating a beautifully balanced and inviting bouquet.

Tasting Profile: A Symphony of Flavours

The Gosset Extra Brut NV Magnum transcends its initial promise on the nose with a truly delightful flavour profile. The first sip is pure and forthright, mirroring the clean character suggested by the aromas. The lively acidity dances on the palate, perfectly complementing the fresh and vibrant fruit flavours. The dominance of Chardonnay shines through, expressing notes of vineyard peach, mirabelle plum, and greengage. The subtle use of malolactic fermentation adds a touch of richness and complexity, without compromising the wine's overall freshness.

Extra Brut Style: A Balanced Expression

The "Extra Brut" designation refers to the dosage level, the amount of sugar added to the champagne after disgorgement. In this case, the sugar dosage is minimal, resulting in a drier style compared to a Brut champagne. This allows the inherent fruit character and acidity of the champagne to take centre stage, creating a beautifully balanced and elegant expression.

Food Pairings for Every Occasion

The versatility of the Gosset Extra Brut NV Magnum makes it a perfect choice for a variety of food pairings. Its lively acidity and clean flavours make it an excellent partner for seafood dishes. Enjoy it alongside freshly shucked oysters, seared scallops, or a delicate white fish dish. The champagne also complements poultry and creamy cheeses. For a truly decadent experience, pair it with a rich foie gras or a creamy mushroom risotto.

Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, or simply a special occasion with friends, this champagne is sure to impress.  However, the elegant character and exceptional quality also make it a fantastic choice for a sophisticated aperitif or to simply enjoy on its own.
