Champagne Christian Gosset Ay Les Pierres Robert Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru 2019
A cuvée from Christian’s favourite parcel, and an embodiment of the power and complexity of Aÿ. A ripe and deep nose with yellow fruit such as peach, apricot, mango, and earthy notes of wood, animal and smoke. On the palate, an initial gentle attack broadens into a generous, opulent full-bodied wine. Very long finish with salinity and notes of menthol.

Cépage: 100% Pinot Noir

The cœur de cuvée is vinified in new and used 228L French barrels from the Tonnellerie de Champagne, where it undergoes both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The wines are undisturbed for 11 months without battonage before bottling, hence oxidation risk and sulphite addition are minimised. The secondary fermentation is accomplished by Méthode Champenoise, where the liqueur de tirage is added to the still base wine.
Ageing: 36 months on the lees
Filtration: None

Christian Gosset’s family name has been the epitome of the prestigious Grand Cru village of Aÿ. For 35 years, Christian had been producing wines with his brother at their family estate of Champagne Gosset-Brabant. He ultimately took on a solo endeavour at the age of 50 in 2015, creating his own domaine, fulfilling his ambitions in making his own wines. That makes him one of the most experienced grower champagne producers. Christian’s project revolves around the five hectares of HVE-certified vineyards in the villages of Aÿ, Avenay-Val d’Or, Chouilly, Dizy and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. The vines are typically aged and low-yielding and produce grapes of high concentration. With low impact viticulture and low intervention vinification processes, Christian sublimates the excellent terroir into wines of distinct precision, intense aroma, and structured finesse with long, complex finish.
