Critical Acclaim
Decanter
94 Points, Anne Krebiehl MW, Decanter: "The nose opens with the fresh ripeness of yellow apple and highlights of Granny Smith. It has beautifully subtle autolysis on the palate, deepening into notes of creamy apple crumble, Golden Delicious and Mirabelle plum, while remaining utterly strait-laced. Elegance, length and absolute freshness are inherent and quietly convincing." 12/20
Burghound
93 Points, Allen Meadows' Burghound: "This too is quite aromatically discreet with its Meyer lemon, brioche, green apple and yeasty nose. There is excellent intensity to the wonderfully fine flavors that combine power with finesse, all wrapped in a crisp, very dry and notably more complex finale. This is terrific and a wine that could be enjoyed now or held for further development." 10/20
Jeb Dunnuck
92 Points, Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck.com: "With a base from 2018, the NV Champagne Grande Reserve Brut pours a bright straw hue and lifts from the glass with pure and inviting aromas of white peach, fresh flowers, and wet stone. Medium-bodied, with a fresh lift on the palate, a fresh pillowy mousse, and a delicate saline finish, this is a wonderful calling card for the freshness of the house style. Drink 2023-2030. 11/23
Wine Spectator
92 Points, Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator: "A fine, vivid backbone of acidity is well-meshed with flavors of black cherry, lemon curd and toasted brioche in this sleek Champagne. It's lightly plush and creamy in texture, with hints of smoke, candied ginger and honeycomb on the finish. Drink now through 2025. 2,000 cases imported." 12/20
Wine Advocate
92 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Aromas of crips orchard fruit, pear and apricot, mingled with hints of fresh bread and pastry, introduce the latest release of Gosset's NV Brut Grande Réserve, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy but incisive wine that's deceptively generous but also structured to reward some bottle age." 09/21
James Suckling
92 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "This has attractive aromas of apricots, pie crust, raspberries, fresh walnuts and pears, with a hint of white pepper and ginger. Elegant, fine and supple mousse, with a medium body and creamy layers of fresh fruit and pastries. So dry and clean. 45% chardonnay, 45% pinot noir and 10% meunier, based on 2017 vintage with 8% reserve wines. 7g/L dosage. Drink now." 05/23
The Wine Independent
92 Points, Sarah Mayo, The Wine Independent: "Gosset’s Grande Réserve Brut NV is a blend of 45% each Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with 10% Pinot Meunier that is aged a minimum of four years on lees and finished with an eight grams per liter dosage. Fragrant and assertive, the nose displays aromas of preserved lemon, red currant, elderflower, chalk, whipped butter and honey. Medium-bodied and fused with vibrant, shimmering acidity and plush red fruit concentration, the palate is elegant and balanced throughout and has pretty, floral notes on the finish." 11/23
Antonio Galloni
91 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The NV Grande Réserve is a gorgeous entry-level wine from Gosset. Crisp, dry and resonant, the Grande Réserve offers lovely textural depth to play off the more mineral-driven notes that are so typical of the Gosset house style. All the elements come together nicely in this effortless, gracious mid-weight Champagne. This is very nicely done. Disgorged on April 26, 2017. Dosage is 8 grams per liter." 12/17
Wine Enthusiast
91 Points, Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast: "Gosset's nonvintage cuvée is a fine example of the richness of this producer's Champagnes. It is full, laden with Pinot texture and a touch of toast from bottle aging. Drink now." 12/21
