Wine Spectator: 96 Points

A graceful Champagne showing a sense of finesse to the detailed intersection of bright buoyant acidity and chalky minerality with a fine satiny mousse and flavors of ripe Asian pear dried white cherry salted almond lemon curd and crystallized honey. Long and mouthwatering on the creamy finish echoing spice and saline notes. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2038. 125 cases imported.

Vinous: 96 Points

The 2008 Extra-Brut Celebris offers up hints of apricot brioche baked apple tart white pepper chamomile and dried flowers. Extended time on the lees yields a Champagne with terrific flavor and textural complexity. This is an especially deep vinous Champagne from Gosset. I would prefer to drink it at the dinner table as it is a very serious wine.

Wine Advocate: 95 Points

The oldest wine house in Champagne established by Pierre Gosset in 1584 in Ay Gosset was purchased by Reynaud-Cointreau in 1993. Today the chef de cave is Odilon de Varine formerly of De
