Gosset Celebris 1998

Quince, white peach and wet stone open with quiet authority, threaded through a taut, linear frame. Fine, persistent bubbles carry a chalky lift that keeps the wine bright and focused without sacrificing depth. There's real contemplative weight here — structured yet poised, with the kind of slow-building complexity that this 64% Chardonnay, 36% Pinot Noir blend from a stellar vintage earns honestly. Plenty of life ahead.
