Gault & Millau
"A true invitation to indulge"
“A truly unique extra dry champagne in the Champagne galaxy —a specialty of the House of Gosset: notes of roasted citrus in chutney, ginger powder, and a string of red berries, each more aromatic than the last. A bold definition, one we love for its wonderfully comforting, coaxing character.” (The Gault & Millau Guide 2023)

Rated estate (2025 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the estate:
Gosset remains a small house in the world of Champagne’s giants, selling an average of one million bottles each year. At the helm of the technical team is a dynamic duo—Odilon de Varine and Gabrielle Malagu—who oversee a lineup that stays true to its core principles: freshness, liveliness, and minerality. To stay the course despite recent climate changes and the grapes’ increased ripeness, the house now favors Chardonnay in its blends, with a reduced proportion of Pinot Noir to maintain a consistent final flavor. Thanks to its consistency and distinctive style—the range offers numerous cuvées, including some made from extensively aged wines—it deserved to be awarded an additional star. The winery has joined the top tier of our rankings.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated Estate (2025 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
“The oldest house in Champagne” was founded in 1584—before the region’s wine became sparkling—by Pierre Gosset, a councilman of Aÿ and vineyard owner. At the time, the wines from this town—often red—competed at court with those from Beaune. Thirteen generations have succeeded Pierre Gosset. Now based in Épernay, the company has been part of the Renaud-Cointreau Group since 1993. Gosset champagnes do not undergo malolactic fermentation. In 2016, Odilon de Varine, deputy director and oenologist, succeeded Jean-Pierre Mareigner. He was joined the following year by Gabrielle Malagu, to whom he entrusted joint responsibility for the cellar at the end of 2022.

A truly unique “extra dry” champagne in the Champagne galaxy—a specialty of the House of Gosset: notes of roasted citrus in chutney, ginger powder, and a medley of red berries, each more aromatic than the last. A bold statement, and one we love for its wonderfully comforting, charming character.

Rated Estate (2025 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the wine:
Fruity and rich, with a lovely, well-defined wild strawberry character. The profile is quite open, and the dosage is well-balanced for an extra dry champagne. The flavor profile and mouthfeel are consistent, with a lovely smoothness that isn’t overpowering. This makes it ideal for pairing with food.
About the estate:
The oldest Champagne house, founded in 1584, has been owned by the Renaud-Cointreau Group since 1994. Now under the leadership of Odilon de Varine and Gabrielle Bouby-Malagu in the cellar, it stands out for its consistent production of wines that are intense and powerful, yet characterized by a beautiful tension that balances them and allows them to age harmoniously.
