Description
This Champagne honors Suzanne Gosset (1885-1970), who served as President of Maison Gosset from 1955 to 1965. She persuaded her entourage to present the rosé Champagne—one of the House’s specialties—in transparent glass bottles to showcase its gorgeous hue. In 1947, this became the very first rosé Champagne to be presented in a clear bottle.
This rosé wine features a high proportion of Chardonnay, bringing freshness and straightness to the blend. It is complemented by Meunier and Pinot Noir, which contribute structure and fruitiness. The red wine from Cumières is carefully crafted to obtain pure, ripe fruit flavors. The base wines have been aged for 9 months on their first fermentation lees before blending and bottling, then the cuvée matured for at least 60 months on second fermentation lees.
