Gosset Grand Millesime 2012 Events Round-up

11 July 2019

June was a busy month for Champagne Gosset. Not only did they launch the new Grand Millésime 2012 but they also launched the start of Matchmakers and were at the inaugural Taste Champagne event.

The launch of Grand Millesime 2012 was in two parts on Tuesday 11th June - a brunch at Tredwells followed by a dinner at The Frog.

Tredwells Chef Patron Chantelle Nicholson provided brunch while sommeliers and the media could drop in to taste the new vintage. This was also the launch of Gosset Matchmakers, a project now in its fourth year. The competition is designed to challenge young sommeliers and young chefs to create a fantastic dish to pair with one of their award-winning champagnes. Entrants must have been in the trade for less than 5 years. For more information on how to apply please email us.

Later that evening, Adam Handling created a fantastic menu that was expertly matched to Gosset’s champagne:

• Aperitif: Gosset Grande Reserve
• Celeriac, date, apple, fresh truffle with Gosset Grand Millésime 2006
• Scallops, oyster, caviar with Gosset Grand Millésime 2012
• Mushroom tortellini, black garlic with Gosset Grand Blanc de Noirs
• Cod, smoked eel, brown shrimp, kohlrabi with Petite Douceur Rosé
• Bergamot, stout, miso, smoked earl grey with Petite Douceur Rosé

Finally, on the following day, Gosset were proud to be at the inaugural Taste Champagne London. Taste Champagne has become the biggest champagne showcase in the new world. The first London tasting was held in Spitalfields on 12th June. Gosset were proud to showcase a number of their wines including their special edition cuvées, including Blanc de Meunier Extra Brut NV and Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut NV.  Read more for extra details.
