The 2007 Gosset Cuvée Celebris Rosé is equally magical. The cépages is fifty-nine percent chardonnay and forty-one percent pinot noir, with seven percent of the pinot being red still wine to give this wine its delicate salmon color and its lovely aura of vinosity. The magical bouquet wafts from the glass in a blend of tangerine, fresh apricot, a touch of rye toast, chalky minerality, smoke, orange blossoms and a gentle topnote of cinnamon stick. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and very, very refined in personality, with a superb core, pinpoint bubbles, zesty acids and stunning length and grip on the supremely elegant finish. A great, great wine. (Drink between 2014-2035)

The brilliant 2007 Celebris Rosé Extra Brut might be better described as "œil de perdrix," so subtle is its hue; cellar master Odilon de Varine commented that the idea behind the wine was not so much to produce a rosé as to produce a Celebris with more depth and richness. The wine wafts from the glass with a lovely bouquet of yellow orchard fruit, beeswax, pain d'epices and clear honey, followed by a full-bodied, broad and crisply fleshy palate with a deep and tight-knit core, a bright spine of acidity and a long, mineral finish. To my palate, this is the finest of Gosset's current releases, and it's well worth a special effort to seek out. - WK

An elegant rosé, with vibrant acidity framing the finely knit flavors of crushed white cherry, mandarin orange peel and almond biscotti. A delicate skein of exotic spice unravels on the lively finish. Drink now through 2027. 40 cases imported. — AN
