Gosset Celebris – The Essence of Champagne Gosset
The prestige cuvée Celebris represents the purest expression of Champagne Gosset’s philosophy: freshness, precision, and remarkable longevity. As the flagship of the oldest Champagne house, founded in 1584 in Aÿ, Celebris embodies more than four centuries of winemaking heritage and craftsmanship.
Produced only in exceptional vintages, Gosset Celebris stands as a symbol of the house’s uncompromising dedication to quality. The blend typically combines 50–60% Chardonnay and 40–50% Pinot Noir from the finest Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs.
Style and Character
In keeping with Gosset’s traditional approach, no malolactic fermentation is used in the production of Celebris. This preserves the Champagne’s natural acidity and crispness, giving it exceptional freshness and long ageing potential. Each bottle matures for at least 10 years on the lees, developing depth and a refined, creamy mousse.
On the nose, Celebris reveals a complex bouquet of citrus peel, white flowers, roasted hazelnuts, brioche, and acacia honey. The palate is vibrant and silky, combining tension with balance — a hallmark of the Gosset Champagne style. Its finish is long, mineral, and pure, echoing the precision of Grand Cru Chardonnay and the structure of Pinot Noir.
Celebris Rosé – Elegance and Expression
The Celebris Rosé is crafted in very limited quantities and represents the house’s artistry at its finest. Made with carefully selected red Pinot Noir from Bouzy and Ambonnay, it offers depth, refined tannins, and aromas of wild strawberry, blood orange, and subtle spice. The rosé version captures both strength and delicacy, combining fruit intensity with mineral freshness.
Both the Celebris Brut Vintage and the Celebris Rosé demonstrate Gosset’s mastery of blending. Rather than emphasizing exuberant fruit, they highlight structure, elegance, and age-worthy complexity — a distinctive signature that sets Gosset apart from modern Champagne styles.
Ageing Potential and Enjoyment
Champagne Gosset Celebris is a wine made for those who appreciate evolution in the glass. In its youth, it offers precision and citrus-driven freshness; with age, it unfolds layers of honey, roasted almonds, and saline minerality. Properly cellared bottles can mature gracefully for decades, developing depth comparable to fine white Burgundy.
Food Pairing
Gosset Celebris is a versatile gastronomic Champagne, ideal both as an aperitif for connoisseurs and alongside refined dishes. Its balance of freshness and creamy texture makes it a superb partner for scallops, lobster, turbot, veal tenderloin, or truffle risotto. This harmony of tension and elegance defines its timeless appeal.
Conclusion
With Celebris, Champagne Gosset affirms its status as a guardian of tradition and a master of precision. Every bottle reflects patience, expertise, and a deep respect for the terroirs of the Champagne region. It is not merely a prestige cuvée — it is the ultimate expression of Gosset’s soul.
