Gosset Celebris Rosé Brut 2008

Offering up aromas of honeycomb, warm biscuits, red berries and spices, the just-released 2008 Extra Brut Celebris Rosé is full-bodied, ample and layered, with a concentrated, even expansive mid-palate; but if this Celebris Rosé leads with its voluminous core of fruit, it's its tangy spine of acidity and taut structure that dominate the bone-dry finish. That structure will demand a bit of patience, but this is an impressive effort from Gosset.

Fragrant and creamy on the nose, showing both a ripe depth of fruit and the richness of long lees ageing. Palate is reflecting the nose with bright acidity and good finish.
