WINE MAKING PROCESS
Gosset Celebris Rosé 2008 is produced using a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with 8% of the Pinot Noir being still red wine. A key technique employed by Gosset is the deliberate avoidance of malolactic fermentation, which preserves the wine's natural freshness and minerality. The wine is aged on its lees for an extended period, at least 10 years, contributing to its complexity and depth. The dosage is typically around 6-6.5 g/L, classifying it as Brut or Extra-Brut. The grapes for the 2008 vintage were harvested under cool conditions, promoting slow ripening and resulting in wines with high acidity and elegant structure.
