WINE MAKING PROCESS
Gosset Grand Reserve Brut is produced using a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes sourced from Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. The primary fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks. A defining characteristic of Gosset's winemaking is the complete omission of malolactic fermentation, which preserves the wine's natural acidity and freshness. The wine then undergoes extended aging on its lees for a minimum of 48 months, followed by a post-disgorgement aging period of 6-9 months.
