This May Gosset Grand Millésime 2016 has arrived in the UK with an expected retail price of around £80 per bottle. We celebrated its launch on the 22nd May with a party at Searcy’s Champagne Bar within Battersea Power Station.
Gosset’s vintage releases represent the unique characteristics of a season, and this 2016 is no exception. The 2016 season began with a cold, wet spring, then a cool beginning to the summer and finished with hot and sunny period before the harvest. Although the vintage can be regarded by many as stronger for Pinot Noir, Gosset found much to love with the Chardonnays and created this 61% Chardonnay, 39% Pinot Noir blend. This is the inverse of their experience in 2015 when they released a Pinot Noir dominant wine, in a year when many favoured Chardonnay.
2016 Grand Millésime is made from a blend of 10 Crus, selected with the intention to express the balance of freshness, fruit and vinosity whilst guarding the wine’s character and purity. It is made in the classic Gosset style: the blend selected blind, without malolactic fermentation and aged on lees for seven years prior to release.
