The 2007 Celebris Extra Brut is the latest rendition of this cuvée, which cellar master Odilon de Varine describes as "not a vintage Gosset but a Gosset vintage"—meaning that it's produced only in years adapted to the house's powerful but austere style. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of lemon oil, marzipan, warm biscuits and wet stones, it's full-bodied, with a deep and concentrated core of ripe but racy fruit, a tangy spine of acidity and an elegant pinpoint mouse, displaying terrific purity and precision.- WK

A blend mainly of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims, Gosset's deluxe cuvée has been well aged. With its edge of toastiness and the still-vibrant citrus and white fruits, the wine is at a beautiful, poised moment, though it will continue to age even further. ROGER VOSS

With a little more Pinot Noir than its Rosé sibling (57% Chardonnay and 43% Pinot Noir), this has been bottled as Extra Brut with 3g/L of sugar. A beguiling and seductive wine, completely à point five or so years after disgorgement, the wine serves as an object lesson to those, should there be any, who enquire why Gosset (historically associated with wood ageing) no longer uses oak and why the house does not put its wines through the second, malolactic fermentation. The wonderful creamy richness can only therefore be a testament to the quality of the fruit, to the careful ageing regime and to the timing of the disgorgement. Very complete and harmonious, the wine boasts citric and honeyed notes, with hints of nougat, lemongrass, butterscotch and dried apricot, and then an attractive nutty finish. An outstanding Champagne which is approachable yet beguilingly subtle; supple and rich, all a function of its eminent eligibility and food matching potential.

The 2007 Extra-Brut Vintage Celebris is a great example of the house style. Powerful and rich, the 2007 possesses tremendous vinous intensity, buffered by low dosage that gives the wine is sense if classic austerity. Orchard fruit, apricot, tangerine oil and white flowers develop with a bit of coaxing. The Celebris is a big, broad-shouldered Champagne for the dinner table. By Antonio Galloni on November 2020

An impressive wine from a challenging vintage, this is brisk and cool, with tense muscularity to its structure. The wine’s brash savor parallels a meaty stock, with smoky complexity and tannins powering the lasting orange-and-red-fruit buzz. Decant it as a main course wine with white meats.

Lightly mouthwatering, with citrus peel acidity and a tang of salinity, layered with flavors of toasted nut, crunchy pear, ground coffee and preserved lemon. Rich and finely meshed, offering a lacy texture and an airy and refreshing feel on the palate. Lasting finish. Drink now through 2027. 144 cases imported.
