What it tastes like.

Good vintage years ending in a ‘7’ have been few and far between since 1947. CELEBRIS 2007 benefits from 10 years ageing in the cellar, giving the vintage a fair maturity and fine balance.’ Odilon de Varine, Cellarmaster.

Vinified and aged on lees to eliminate all risk of premature oxidation. Malolactic fermentation is carefully avoided in order to preserve all the natural fruit aromas of the wine and to allow the wines to undergo longer ageing. Extra-Brut dosage (3g/l) to maintain the balance between freshness, fruit and vinosity without masking the wine’s personality and purity. Ageing for a minimum of 10 years in the cellar results in a beautifully complex and structured wine. This is an excellent wine for laying down. Chardonnay 57% (Vertus, Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Verzy, Trépail), Pinot Noir 43% (Cumières, Avenay, Aÿ-Champagne, Bouzy, Ambonnay.)

'Pale golden colour. Delicate, expressive and complex nose with notes of ripe white fruit, mocha and roasted coffee. On the palate we find the same very seductive aromatic profile, with an incredible length. For exceptional dishes.' 98 points, Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge, 2020.

The house

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.
