Wine Review: The Gosset "Grande Reserve" is everything and the kitchen sink. This medium+ bodied Champagne opens with a bouquet of stone fruits and white flowers, that is as intoxicating as CHANEL No. 5. The palate is no different offering a range of fruits: white peaches, granny smith apples, hints of strawberries and raspberries, and a touch of caramelized mandarin. The acidity in the Grande Reserve livens the palate while it dries your mouth making you want more, and boy will you want more. Enjoy now or over the next 7 years with bay oysters. Enjoy - Nicolay

Winemaker Notes: The palate is dominated by refreshing mineral notes combined with a warm and consistent flavor echoing the wine's richness and plumpness. From under a rich expression of ripe and dried fruit, a gentle persistent freshness comes through. A subtle and beautifully crafted framework which is the signature of Gosset champagnes.
