Champagne Gosset (with French cheeses)

December 1, 2009 at 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Location: Gordon's Fine Wine & Culinary Center
Cost: $20 per person

 

A rare opportunity to showcase the beautiful wines of Gosset, the oldest wine house in Champagne. Founded in 1584, Gosset is one of the smaller producers of luxury champagne, but what it lacks in volume it amply makes up for in quality and prestige. For many collectors and connoisseurs around the world Gosset is quite simply the ultimate name in luxury champagne.

At a time when many top champagne houses are owned by corporate conglomerates, Gosset remains a reassuring hold-out, a family-owned company in which family members are directly and personally involved.

Significantly, and unlike most other houses, Gosset champagnes do not undergo malolactic fermentation, resulting in heightened acidity, slower maturing wines and that inimitable Gosset style -- powerful and full-bodied, of unrivaled richness and staying power -- in other words, some of the world’s most legendary Champagne.

 

Adrien Fleurant, National Sales Manager of French wines for Palm Bay, will be presenting.
