gosset 1979
Reference: 105428Stock: 1 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
"founded in 1584, gosset is the oldest wine house in the champagne region. production remained fairly low-key until 1994, when it was sold to the renaud-cointreau family group. the takeover increased the level of investment, improved vineyard management and doubled gosset's annual production to almost one million bottles in just fourteen years. owning only a few vineyards, gosset buys almost all the grapes needed for its production. after sixteen generations in the famous village of aÿ, the winery only recently moved to a new, larger plot in épernay. a wine for celebrations par excellence, champagne has a more complex reality. despite the single name ""champagne"", there are many different types of champagne. champagne can be ""blanc de blancs"" (made from chardonnay), ""blanc de noirs"" (made from pinot noir, pinot meunier or both), made from a blend of the three grape varieties, from a single cru or from several, white or rosé, vintage or not, and endowed in varying proportions. in addition, the champagne region constitutes the delimited area of three aocs: champagne, coteaux-champenois and rosé-des-riceys. on either side of the marne, reims and épernay share the role of champagne capital. several regions make up the champagne appellation: the montagne de reims, the côte des blancs at the gates of épernay, the grande vallée de la marne and the two banks of the vallée de la marne, extended by the vineyards of the aisne and the vallée du surmelin. the aube vineyard is located at the extreme south-east of the appellation area and is separated from the other sectors by a 75 km zone free of vines."
