Gosset Blanc de Blanc MAGNUM

Pierre Gosset, then Lord and Alderman of Aÿ, founded what is now Champagne Gosset in 1584 — making it the oldest wine house still operating in Champagne. Pierre's father Jean Gosset (1484–1556) was the first official ancestor of the lineage as Lord of Aÿ and Mareuil, but it was Pierre who turned the family wine-growing into a négociant business. Through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the house produced still wines (mostly red) before transitioning, like the rest of the Champagne region, to sparkling wine in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Sixteen generations of direct-lineage Gosset family ran the house until late 1993, when Champagne Gosset became part of the Renaud-Cointreau group — the family-owned Cognac and liqueur conglomerate that also includes Cognac Frapin and the Pagès-Vedrenne liqueur business. Production moved from Aÿ to Épernay in 2009. The house's stylistic signature is to suppress malolactic fermentation across the range — preserving the malic acidity that gives Gosset its distinctive linear, mineral profile — and to bottle without dosage shock, avoiding the rounded sweetness common in modern Champagne.

The current Gosset range covers the Grande Reserve Brut (the entry-tier headline bottle — historically the house's most-shipped expression), Grand Blanc de Blancs Brut, Grand Rosé Brut, the Celebris vintage tête de cuvée, and the Excellence Brut. The Grande Reserve is mature on lees for around three years before release, longer than the Champagne minimum and a key factor in the house's biscuit-and-toast complexity.

Magnum format for cellar long-keep, special-occasion oyster service, and large-table aperitif pairings; lay down 5–10 years.
