Champagne Gosset Celebris Rosé 2008 In a full, expansive expression of the Gosset spirit, Celebris marks four centuries of masterful craftsmanship in the art of vinification, blending and ageing exceptional crus. The vintage collection also acknowledges the role of time in the production of champagne, from shaping the identity of a terroir to carving the character of the vintage over a decade in the cellar. The latest addition to the range – Celebris Rosé 2008 – embodies the house’s unique expertise in choosing and blending terroirs to perfection. Made from 72% Chardonnay and 28% Pinot Noir, of which 8% is red wine, the cuvée showcases aromas of strawberry jam lifted by spices and a touch of menthol, lingering with ripe summer fruits. On the palette, the crystal-clear copper-toned cuvée offers a full-bodied tautness, with accords of ripe black cherry shot through with a blood orange note that provides a tangy freshness. The 2008 rosé pairs well with mushrooms, foie gras, poultry, lobster, strawberries and citrus fruit. www.champagne-gosset.com
