1999 Gosset Grand Millesimes

The 1999 Gosset Grand Millésime, tasted from magnum, was spectacular, and far more interesting than the same wine from bottle. Smoke, ash, graphite and toasted oak emerged from this fat, full-bodied Champagne. It was superb.

Putty, minerals and much more spice and acidity than most 1999s. Deep and rewarding. (JR)

The 1999 Brut Grand Millésime is an intense, full-bodied wine loaded with ripe peaches, apricots, smoke and minerals. The wine shows notable integrity in its fruit, with delicate, perfumed notes that carry through to the long finish. This is a great wine to enjoy over a long, relaxed dinner. The 1999 Brut Grand Millésime is 56% Chardonnay and 44% Pinot Noir. This bottle was most likely disgorged in late 2006.
