What it tastes like.

100% Chardonnay from the villages of Avize, Cramant, Chouilly, Villers-Marmery, Trepail… aged a minimum of 3 years on lees. No malolactic to retain freshness and precision and bottled with 8 gms/ltr dosage. The elegance and finesse of this wine makes it the ideal companion for an aperitif. Thanks to its freshness, it is also possible to pair it with many dishes such as scallops, crab, a fish tartar, oysters, gougères, a risotto with slivers of parmesan cheese, white meat, a young and fruity comté, parmesan cheese.

'The Gosset house style of refined minerality and thrilling malic acidity has shone in its blanc de blancs since its inaugural 2011 base release, and never more brilliantly than it does in this 2013 base of bright, pale straw hue. Youthful purity and focus rise with grand cru fruit presence and impressive concentration of pinpoint lemon and generous white peach, pear and golden delicious apple. This pristine fruit melds seamlessly with the brioche, almond nougat, shortbread, fresh vanilla and spice of lees age, and reductive nuances of struck flint. Ripe yet full and energetic malic acidity brings drive and focus to a finish of impressive length and tension, energising frothing salt minerality of heightened presence. It holds excellent harmony and poise on the finish, with fruit, minerality, dosage and malic acidity intricately entwined and uplifting. A thrilling blanc de blancs with the confidence to hold its poise for many years to come.' 94 points, Tyson Stelzer, The Champagne Guide 2020-2021.

About Gosset.

Champagne (Aÿ historically; Épernay since 2009) ·Est. 1584

Champagne Gosset is the oldest wine house in Champagne, founded in 1584 in Aÿ by Pierre Gosset — Lord and Alderman of Aÿ-Champagne — who began producing still wines from his own vineyards. The Gosset family ran the house in direct lineage across 16 generations until 1993, when ownership passed to the family-owned Renaud-Cointreau group (which also owns Vedrenne and Frapin Cognac). The house relocated from Aÿ to Épernay in 2009 but continues the unfiltered, malolactic-suppressed style that distinguishes Gosset from most modern Champagne.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Gosset

Champagne (Aÿ historically; Épernay since 2009)

Pierre Gosset, then Lord and Alderman of Aÿ, founded what is now Champagne Gosset in 1584 — making it the oldest wine house still operating in Champagne. Pierre's father Jean Gosset (1484–1556) was the first official ancestor of the lineage as Lord of Aÿ and Mareuil, but it was Pierre who turned the family wine-growing into a négociant business. Through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the house produced still wines (mostly red) before transitioning, like the rest of the Champagne region, to sparkling wine in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Sixteen generations of direct-lineage Gosset family ran the house until late 1993, when Champagne Gosset became part of the Renaud-Cointreau group — the family-owned Cognac and liqueur conglomerate that also includes Cognac Frapin and the Pagès-Vedrenne liqueur business. Production moved from Aÿ to Épernay in 2009. The house's stylistic signature is to suppress malolactic fermentation across the range — preserving the malic acidity that gives Gosset its distinctive linear, mineral profile — and to bottle without dosage shock, avoiding the rounded sweetness common in modern Champagne.

The current Gosset range covers the Grande Reserve Brut (the entry-tier headline bottle — historically the house's most-shipped expression), Grand Blanc de Blancs Brut, Grand Rosé Brut, the Celebris vintage tête de cuvée, and the Excellence Brut. The Grande Reserve is mature on lees for around three years before release, longer than the Champagne minimum and a key factor in the house's biscuit-and-toast complexity.
