Gosset Grande Réserve Brut Champagne

Vivid yellow. Musky, spice-accented aromas of nectarine, poached pear and chamomile, with a chalky mineral overtone. Juicy and palate-staining, offering densely packed orchard fruit and orange pith flavors accented by nutmeg, white pepper and candied ginger. Finishes smoky and very long, with resonating spiciness and excellent clarity. Score - 92. (Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar, Dec. 2013)
