In 1584, Pierre Gosset, alderman of Aÿ and wine grower, made mainly red, still wines from the harvest of his own vineyards. This makes Gosset the oldest winery in Champagne. However, in the 18th century, the production of still wines made in and around Aÿ changed to sparkling. Champagne Gosset is the oldest winery in the Champagne region, founded in 1584 in the village of Aÿ.

A striking creation from Gosset is the Grand Rosé Brut, a non-vintage rosé champagne that combines elegance and complexity. The Grand Rosé Brut is made from a blend of 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir, part of which is vinified as red wine to obtain the rosé colour and fruity notes. Gosset avoids malolactic fermentation to preserve the natural freshness and fruity aromas of the wine. The champagne matures in the cellars for at least three years, which contributes to the development of complex flavours and a fine mousse.

Color: A delicate salmon pink shade with bright, sparkling reflections.

Aromas: On the nose, aromas of citrus fruits and Gariguette strawberries emerge, developing into subtle notes of red fruits as the Champagne warms.

Taste: On the palate, the wine offers a harmonious balance between fresh acidity and the softness of red fruits, with a lingering finish reminiscent of strawberries and raspberries.

Jeb Dunnuck gave the champagne 92 points, praising the fresh notes of peach, strawberry and white flowers, as well as the lively acidity and aging potential.

Wine Spectator also gave the wine a 92-point rating, highlighting the fine mousse and flavors of white cherry, raspberry and blood orange.

In 1584, Pierre Gosset, alderman of Aÿ and winegrower, mainly made red, still wines with the harvest from his own vineyards. This makes Gosset the oldest winery in Champagne. At that time, champagne as we know it did not yet exist. Gosset sold a still, mostly red wine made from the grapes from its own vineyards. Champagne and wine from Beaune in Burgundy competed for the favor of the French kings at the time. When, thanks to the invention of Dom Pérignon, sparkling champagne could be made and sold in bottles, the house of Gosset also became involved in the production of white sparkling champagne. And in the 18th century the production of still wines made in and around Aÿ changed to bubbles. Malolactic fermentation is carefully avoided in order to preserve the malic acid, which provides the natural fruity aromas. Gosset assembles the best Crus of the Marne district (Grand Crus and Premier Crus), with an average classification of 95% on the official Cru scale ("échelle des crus").
