Gosset Celebris Rose 2007 (750ML)

96 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The brilliant 2007 Celebris Rosé Extra Brut might be better described as "oil de perdrix," so subtle is its hue; cellar master Odilon de Varine commented that the idea behind the wine was not so much to produce a rosé as to produce a Celebris with more depth and richness. The wine wafts from the glass with a lovely bouquet of yellow orchard fruit, beeswax, pain d'epices and clear honey, followed by a full-bodied, broad and crisply fleshy palate with a deep and tight-knit core, a bright spine of acidity and a long, mineral finish. To my palate, this is the finest of Gosset's current releases, and it's well worth a special effort to seek out." 04/19

93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2007 Extra Brut Rosé Celebris is wonderfully silky, polished and refined. The flavors are bright and lifted throughout, reflecting the predominance of Chardonnay in the blend. Cranberry, white pepper, mint and crushed rocks all give the 2007 much of its translucence and weightless energy. The finish is dry, salivating and tense. In other words; classic Gosset. This is a terrific showing. The 2007 is 59% Chardonnay and 41% Pinot Noir from vineyards in Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Vertus, Aÿ and Bouzy." 11/15
