About The Wine
A glass of Rose Champagne is one of life's great joys. Not a simple pleasure though, as a lot of work goes into making these beautiful bottles.
Gosset's delectable Grand Rose is equal amounts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay made into a white bubbly Champagne, with about 8% Pinot Noir as a still table red then added to give the wine its colour and structure. Wild roses, strawberries and some smoky spices are some of the myriad of flavours.
It's light, fresh, ethereal and disappears way too quick in the glass - which should be a normal wine glass, not in a dreaded flute..
About Champagne Gosset
The Gosset house was established in 1584 by Pierre Gosset in the great Champagne town of Ay.
It's the oldest Champagne house still in production today and produces a relatively small amount of wine given its global stature.
Gosset focuses primarily on Pinot Noir, and unusually they avoid malolactic fermentation, aiming instead to maintain high acid levels and to release wines with extended lees aging.
Noted for its attention to quality even at scale, Gosset works with some 200+ growers across 70 different villages in the region.
After more than 440 years of family stewardship Gosset was sold to the Renaud-Cointreau family in 1993, and expanded to include a new facility in Epernay.

From The Producer
Vinification and aging on lees avoiding any premature oxidation. Malolactic fermentation carefully avoided in order to preserve the naturally fruity aroma of the wines and to ensure perfect conservation. The red wines of Ambonnay and Bouzy make it possible to obtain a delicately colored rosé with a fruity taste.
Raw dosage (8 g / l) to maintain the balance between freshness, fruitiness and vinosity and not to mask the character of the wine and its purity. Minimum aging of 3 years in a cellar at constant temperature, much longer than the legal minimum of fifteen months.
Blend : Chardonnay (50%), Pinot Noir (50% including 8% as red wine)
ABV : 12%
Closure : Crown Seal
Drink Until : 2028
Bottle Size : 750ml

Critic Reviews
"Based on the 2014 vintage, the new release of Gosset's NV Brut Grand Rosé is still quite tightly wound after its recent disgorgement in November 2019, unwinding in the glass with aromas of orange rind, crisp orchard fruit and warm biscuits. Medium to full-bodied, deep and muscular, it's bright and chalky, with racy acids and notable phenolic structure, complemented by a pinpoint mousse. It will really begin to show all its cards after a few years on cork." - William Kelly (The Wine Advocate)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
