Celebris

Notes

Golden lovely fine sunshine soaked fruit on the nose, with very sleek minerals on the attack and a very fine bead, the fruit coming from 9 different villages, with this particular bottling disgorged end of 14, 11 years after bottling. Open and yet firm and mineral below, warmed citrus notes, a touch of hazelnut, fantastic balance, effortless silky fruit, a touch of cream and steely lime creeping in towards the end. Serious but also exceptionally easy to drink. Very fine. 5 grams dosage.

Notes

Magnificent in its complexity and pure breeding, the 2002 Extra Brut Celebris has it all. The Extra Brut style confers the signature Gosset drive, while extended time on the lees has given the wine just enough texture and body to fill out nicely. In the meantime, the aromas and flavors have mellowed into those that are typical of Champagne entering the first plateau of its maturity. The 2002 is vinous, fleshy and super-expressive, yet retains striking freshness throughout. Candied lemon peel, apricot jam, honey, mint, spices and sage form a compelling fabric of flavors and textures in a knock-out Champagne that is peaking today. The 2002 is 52% Chardonnay, 48% Pinot Noir from vineyards in Aÿ, Bouzy, Verzy, Chouilly and Cramant.
