Review: For Valentine’s day dinner we decided to open a bottle of this wine. I had not sipped it in a few years and had forgotten exactly what makes the wines of this producer so different from the others. Unlike many other houses, the wines from Gosset do not go through malo-lactic fermentation, meaning that they keep more of their zingy acidity. The wine is a fairly medium to large bodied effort, with the palate more on the citrus and fresh fruit level. This does not express too much of the brioche or leesy quality you would get from something like Nichoals Feuillatte, which is certainly toastier and less primary. I love the heft of this wine combined with the very fresh and powerful fruit. Because of this combination of acidity and concentration, the wine will pair so well with so many kinds of food. I am so happy to renew my friendship with this wine after a few years. I would suggest if you do not have a lot of experience with different champagne styles, buy both these aforementioned wines so you can determine which style you like. This is a fantastic bottle for the price and is an excellent introduciton to Gosset.
