Gosset Zero Dosage

The Champagne Gosset zero dosage cuvée from the oldest Champagne house is a unique expression of the Gosset style. It reveals a refined winemaking approach, with no addition of expedition liqueur (dosage 0 g/L), to allow the wine to express itself in all its frankness.

Technical characteristics

• House: Gosset (Aÿ, 1584) - the oldest Champagne house.
• Grape varieties: 62% Chardonnay, 38% Pinot Noir.
• Origin: Emblematic Champagne villages: Ambonnay, Avize, Bouzy, Cumières, Cramant, Villers-Marmery, Rilly-la-Montagne.
• Dosage: 0 g/l (no dosage liqueur added after disgorgement).
• Ageing: The basic wines are aged for over a year in vats, with work on the lees (pumping over, resuspension) to enrich the structure.

What this enthusiast can expect

Thanks to its vinification and 'zero dosage' concept, this cuvée offers a precise balance between mineral freshness and density. The wine is golden in colour, with aromas of marzipan and ripe lemon combined with hints of citrus jelly. On the palate, the attack is lively and enveloping, with notes of lemon bergamot and Canada apple articulated around an accent of salted butter caramel. The structure is firm and well-balanced, leading to an iodised finish with a slightly bitter nuance. This balance will appeal to those who want a champagne that combines rigour and density.

Use and context

This cuvée is suitable for connoisseurs looking for a "natural" champagne or one without added sugar, and who want to discover the signature of a great Champagne house in a sober version. It is particularly well suited to lightly cooked seafood dishes (oysters, langoustines, sea bass or salmon tartare) or goat's or sheep's milk cheeses. We recommend serving this cuvée at a temperature of between 8°C and 10°C, to bring out its mineral freshness and fine structure.

Why choose this cuvée?

Opting for "Champagne Gosset zéro dosage" means choosing the purity of a great Champagne name in a deliberately no-sugar-added interpretation. This cuvée is distinguished by

• the historic recognition of the House of Gosset ;
• the no dosage character (0 g/L) which highlights the wine itself;
• prolonged ageing on the lees, which gives it density and complexity;
• a fine, balanced expression of mineral freshness and structured vinosity.

This makes it an ideal choice for discerning wine-lovers looking for an emblematic cuvée in a dry, precise and accomplished style.

Practical advice

• Storage: away from light, ideally between 10°C and 14°C, horizontal, for up to 5 years or more depending on stocks.
• Opening: carefully, to preserve the effervescence and fine mousse.
• Glass: flute or wide tulip to let the aromas unfold.
• Gourmet pairings: favour simple but high-quality dishes that bring out the freshness of the wine (fine fish, shellfish, mature cheeses).
