Region/Producer:
Maison Gosset, the oldest Wine House in Champagne, boasts a rich history dating back to 1584. The Gosset family’s involvement in viticulture, however, began even earlier in the 15th century, with Jean Gosset cultivating vineyards in Aÿ. By 1584, Pierre Gosset established a still wine trading house, predating sparkling Champagne production by over a century. Over the years, Gosset wines graced royal tables, even appearing at the coronation of Charles X in 1825
For 16 generations, the family has upheld their winemaking traditions. Today, Gosset represents seven centuries of Champagne expertise, embodying heritage through its prestigious status and unique accolades. Gosset’s commitment to heritage extends beyond its own legacy; the annual Trophée Gosset recognises individuals and institutions dedicated to preserving heritage, from culinary arts to broader cultural contributions, while ‘Gosset Matchmakers’ is a food and wine pairing competition for rising chefs and sommeliers in the UK. Sourcing primarily from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, Head Winemaker Odilon de Varine crafts Champagnes with remarkable depth, elegance, freshness and longevity that define its signature style
Champagne Gosset sources grapes from 140 hectares of vineyards across Champagne, partnering with 160 winegrowing families. This diverse sourcing, spanning the villages Ambonnay, Aÿ, Celles-sur-Ource, Chassenay, Chavot, Chatillon, Chouilly, Cramant, Courmas, Cumières, Louvois, Passy, Sézanne, and Vertus allows for meticulous selection and balanced blends, ensuring consistent house style across vintages. Gosset champions sustainable practices, incentivising organic and sustainable viticulture. The Champagne
region is working towards vineyards without chemical herbicides, and the aim is for all growers to hold an environmental certification by 2030.
