Representing the sixth release in a 30-year history, Gosset’s latest Champagne expression is certainly rare, and it’s only being made as a rosé.
Hailing from the 2009 vintage, the new Gosset cuvée is Celebris Rosé, a tiny production high-end, single-harvest Champagne that the maison has decided to bottle solely as a pink wine – there won’t be a blanc equivalent from the same year.
According to marketing and communications director at Champagne Gosset, Thibaut Le Mailloux, the new Champagne release represents the sixth example of its type, with previous Gosset Celebris Rosé expresions coming from the 1995, 1998, 2003, 2007, 2008 vintages.
Notably, he told db that this prestige cuvée won’t be complemented by a white equivalent – Gosset is only making a rosé version of Celebris from the 2009 vintage.
“You might ask why have we decided to release a rosé from 2009, and not a white, and that’s because the chef-de-cave Odilon de Varine said it was a rich and ripe year that suits the rosé style of Champagne,” he said, before noting that the cellar master made the same decision with the 2003 harvest, which was famously one of the hottest years experienced in the region.
Gosset Celebris Rosé 2009 is, in line with the house style, a Champagne featuring base wines that have not gone through the malo-lactic fermentation, ensuring the style is especially fresh – even if the vintage produced ripe grapes – while the 2009 blend comprised 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, which includes 9% red wine to give the fizz its peach-pink appearance.
The Champagne has been resting in Gosset’s cellars since 2010, and has spent at least 12 months resting post-disgorgement, at which point the blend was given a 3g/l dosage.
The expression retails for around €250 in France.
Gosset’s last launch was a Zéro Dosage Champagne, which hit the market last year, with no added sugar whatsoever, marking the maison’s first foray into the niche segment of brut nature fizz. It is based on the 2013 harvest, and was disgorged in spring 2025. Noting its early success, Thibaut told db that the zero dosage cuvée had received “a very warm welcome” from the market, despite the challenging nature of the overall Champagne category, which declined by 2% in 2025.
