Gosset Champagne

For over four centuries, great care has been taken to preserve the Gosset family know-how in the making of these classic Champagnes from Champagnes oldest House. In 1584, Pierre Gosset, alderman of Aÿ and wine-grower made still wines, mostly red, with the grapes he harvested from his own vines. In those days, two wines vied for pride of place at the table of the Kings of France, the wine of Aÿ and, from several hundreds miles further south, the wines of Beaune, both were made from the same grape varieties Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Then, in the 18th century, the wines made in and around Aÿ began to bubble and today, the Gosset cuvées are still presented in the antique flask identical to the one used since the 18th century.
