VEUVE CLICQUOT NV MAGNUMS 1.5L CHAMPAGNE, 1.5L (Magnum)

GOSSET 'GRAND ROSE' NV CHAMPAGNE, 750ml (Bottle)

Chardonnay 56%, Pinot Noir 35%, with 9% still Pinot Noir from Ambonnay. Grand cru 80%, Premier cru 20%
Bright and complex with cranberry and strawberry dominating the nose.
Lovely, fresh, creamy-nutty red fruits, with good acid structure. Delightfully fresh. This is very good.

The Gosset family have been making wine in Champagne since 1584, a date that precedes the creation of the first Champagne house - Ruinart - by well over a century.
Rather steely character, lemon and herb aromas, rather tight and firm.
The palate is attractively clean and well defined, with bright lemon citrus fruit packed in by good acidity. It is very tightly composed and has some fine potential.

A pioneer in the champagne trade, the Ruinart House has stood out due to its unique know-how and history.
The nose delivers a superb complex sniff with a distinct yeasty top note followed by aromas of baked bread, brioche, cashew and toast.
The palate is quite rich for a Blanc de Blancs displaying very refined flavours of baked bread, yeast lees and cashew with a light toast overlay. Creamy texture with excellent length. Clean crisp dry finish with long aftertaste of baked bread, yeast less and cashew.

This Palmes dOr style is used to create a wine rather than a Champagne
A mix of apricot, dried cherry and lemon aromas
The 1998 Brut Cuvee Palmes dOr is a sexy drink. While not a blockbuster, the wine reveals an engaging, harmonious personality. The open, inviting bouquet leads to an expressive, generous core of fruit with pretty notes of early tertiary character that add complexity. Brioche, hazelnuts, dried pears and dried apricots linger on a long, beautifully articulated finish
