THE CUVÉE IDENTITY
Organoleptic profile: its copper color, luminous and crystalline, reveals its long maturation in cellars.
On the nose, an aroma of strawberry jam, enhanced by spices (black pepper) and menthol, is followed by hints of
ripe summer fruits: peach, nectarine and apricot. On the palate, the wine presents a greedy tension: aromas of ripe black cherry are balanced by a note of blood orange bringing an enveloping acidulous freshness. The iodine finish is reminiscent of the minerality of Chardonnays, which dominate this blend.
Gosset Celebris Rosé 2008 has been popular with mushrooms, foie gras, poultry, lobster, strawberries and citrus fruits. A thousand other combinations remain to be discovered according to your desires and your creativity.
