After last weeks amazing Gosset offer we thought we'd give you a bit more background on our favourite Champagne brand. If you haven't heard of, or been lucky enough to try some of the amazing wines of Champagne Gosset then this email is for you.
Founded in 1584, Gosset is the oldest wine house in Champagne. Not only are we brand ambassadors in Ireland, we were also lucky enough to visit the beautiful Gosset House in Epernay and try their wonderful selection.
The story of the Gosset family begins over four centuries ago with the first official ancestor of the family line, Jean Gosset (1484–1556), “Seigneur of Aÿ and Mareuil”. Following in his footsteps, sixteen generations, all born in Aÿ in Champagne, would become famous not only as deputy mayors, mayors, prosecutors, but also for growing and trading the wines of Champagne.
It was around 1760 that Jean Gosset used what would become the symbol of the Gosset house for the first time: the antique bottle. This extremely elegant, distinctive bottle, with well-rounded sides, is an exclusive model that was part of the family’s old bottle collection. This traditional but distinctive style really sets the Champagne apart from it's competition.
At the end of the 20th century, the takeover by the Cointreau family and the birth of the CELEBRIS Vintage Cuvées saw the Gosset name become firmly established as producers of high end Champagne and trailblazers for sustainability in the vineyard and in the cellar.
More recently Gosset moved to it's current location, a beautiful house and gardens in Epernay that came complete with a substantial cellar. We had the pleasure of touring this house and seeing first hand the care and attention that Gosset put into their wines.
