This wine was launched in 1981 and for the team at Emperor, this stands as a great illustration of how to achieve great expression from the vineyards without masking it with sugar.

The house to this day is focused on making it wine first before a champagne. This is in direct contrast to other houses that make acidic base wines purely for the purpose of making champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the key winemaking techniques is the absence of malolactic fermentation. This preserves the pristine nature of the fruit and highlights its lively acidity and bracing energy. The wines therefore, benefit from an extended time in the cellar to gain their full potential. They would certainly have the potential to develop in yours. We have been impressed by all the cuvées, which recently arrived in Australia (September 2017) and the Grande Reserve Brut is an outstanding entry level champagne for a classy producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairing \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eServe with fresh scallops accompanied by a lemon butter sauce but keep the lemon high in the mix to retain some tang which will partner up beautiful with the clean acid and tangy citrus drive of the cuvee. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReview\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The Gosset house style of refined minerality and thrilling malic acidity shine in its blanc de blancs. Youthful purity and focus of lemon and beurre bosc pear highlight a primary style, with lees age tactically deployed to create creamy texture without malolactic fermentation. The tension of driving malic acidity and fine chalk minerality creates a seamless finish with the potential to hold its freshness for many years yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA subtle dry-extract dustiness on the finish is but a faint hint of the challenging 2011 season, an impressive result, though Mareigner pointed out that the vintage was stronger for chardonnay than black grapes.

The house to this day is focused on making it wine first before a champagne. This is in direct contrast to other houses that make acidic base wines purely for the purpose of making champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the key winemaking techniques is the absence of malolactic fermentation. This preserves the pristine nature of the fruit and highlights its lively acidity and bracing energy. The wines therefore, benefit from an extended time in the cellar to gain their full potential. They would certainly have the potential to develop in yours. We have been impressed by all the cuvées, which recently arrived in Australia (September 2017) and the Grande Reserve Brut is an outstanding entry level champagne for a classy producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairing \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eServe with fresh scallops accompanied by a lemon butter sauce but keep the lemon high in the mix to retain some tang which will partner up beautiful with the clean acid and tangy citrus drive of the cuvee. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReview\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The Gosset house style of refined minerality and thrilling malic acidity shine in its blanc de blancs.
