WINE MAKING PROCESS
Champagne Gosset Petite Douceur Rosé Extra Dry is produced using a blend of approximately 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. A small percentage of the Pinot Noir is vinified as red wine to achieve the rosé color. A core technique employed by Gosset is the avoidance of malolactic fermentation, which helps preserve the wine's natural fruit aromas and acidity. The wine is aged for a minimum of three years in the cellar before disgorgement, contributing to its complexity and texture. The dosage for this 'Extra Dry' style in Champagne terms results in a residual sugar level of around 17 g/L.
