We are thrilled to have two very special Champagne Gosset wines released this month in LCBO Classics, right in time for the festive season. As the oldest wine house in Champagne, Gosset represents a history and legacy that is unparalleled, and the Celebris Brut and Rosé are seen as pinnacle cuvées.
Only 15,000 bottles of each wine was released globally, and will sell out quickly. You can order your bottles through CLASSICS now.
Champagne Gosset Celebris Extra Brut 2008

Champagne Gosset Celebris Brut Rosé 2008
This vintage is only the fourth edition of Gosset Celebris Rosé in the past twenty-five years. It is a limited edition of 15,000 bottles. This blends 72% Chardonnay and 28% Pinot Noir (8% is red wine). The grapes came from Ambonnay, Avize, Aÿ, Bouzy, Cramant, Cuis, Cumières, Trépail, Vertus, Villers-Marmery. After 12 years in the cellars, it was disgorged in April 2021, with 6.5 g/L.
“Offering up aromas of honeycomb, warm biscuits, red berries and spices, the just-released 2008 Extra Brut Celebris Rosé is full-bodied, ample and layered, with a concentrated, even expansive mid-palate; but if this Celebris Rosé leads with its voluminous core of fruit, it’s its tangy spine of acidity and taut structure that dominate the bone-dry finish. That structure will demand a bit of patience, but this is an impressive effort from Gosset. Drink date: 2023-2040”. 94+ points, William Kelley, robertparker.com
