The story behind Gosset's antique bottle...

06 February 2018

Jean Gosset was the first member of the family to use the iconic antique bottle shape which was introduced in around 1760.

Legend has it that the antique bottle shape was rediscovered during the Second World War when the premises in Ay were destroyed by bombing. But however the bottle was rediscovered, it has now becoming a symbol of the house and is instantly recognisable.

The bottle is very slender and is an extremely elegant bottle with its unusual shape. It is an exclusive model which was part of the collection from the Gosset family. The bottle owes its nickname to the "antique glass" colour of the molten glass that is part of its composition.

Today the antique bottle is available in half-bottles, bottles, magnums and jeroboams.

Jean-Pierre Cointreau, CEO says "The origin of the Gosset bottle dates back to the XVIII century. It is slightly longer, with wider hips, and recalls an exclusive model that was among the House’s collection. Several decades ago it was decided to bring this bottle back to life and make it the emblem of our champagne range. In this way, we not only have a signature style for our wines, but also for our bottle."
