Descripción

Dice Odilon de Varine, maestro bodeguero de Gosset, señala que han hecho falta 13 años de crianza para conseguir el equilibrio perfecto de este champagne. Celebris se elabora con Chardonnay y Pinot noir de lugares tan reconocimos como Bouzy, Vertus o Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Sin duda, un espumoso de talla mundial que será el protagonista de cualquier comida o cena.

Opinión de los críticos

The Wine Advocate:

Gosset's just-released 2008 Extra-Brut Celebris is showing beautifully out of the gates, offering up sweet aromas of citrus oil, dried white flowers, warm biscuits and nougat, with hints of the dried fruits to come. Medium to full-bodied, racy and layered, with a firm core of fruit that's girdled by tangy acids and a long, penetrating finish, the house's typically tensile style is married with real flesh and weight.

Jeb Dunnuck:

The 2008 Champagne Celebris Extra Brut is 54% Chardonnay and the remainder Pinot Noir, aged for over 9 years in cellar on its lees with 4.8 g/l dosage. It is rounded with ripe aromas of orange oil, almond pastry, and peach and is seamless to the palate with modest acidity, generous orchard fruit, and a richness and umami that lifts off the palate with delicate salinity. Drink this benchmark wine in the range now or over the next 10-15 years.

James Suckling:

Such a concise and laser-focused wine with tight layers of crushed stones, praline, frangipani flowers, green apples, lemons, hazelnuts, pastries and salted almonds. Very tight bubbles here. So clear and structured, with a long and mineral finish. Still reserved. 54% chardonnay and 46% pinot noir. 4.8g/L dosage. Drink or hold.
