Gosset Grande Reserve NV Apple, honey and flowers. Acid stands out on the palate. 85/100 Gosset Grande Millesime 1999 Peaches, pears and toast. Good intensity on the palate, long length, maybe lacking a little bit of focus to be great though. 89/100 Gosset Brut Excellence NV Soft floral nose. Palate is boring and mediocre. 84/100
