Gosset pays tribute to French heritage
Maison Gosset needs no introduction. It is one
of a very select group of houses producing the
very finest Champagne. The Gosset Celebris
Trophy, named for its outstanding label, was created
in 1995 to single out wine and gourmet food experts
for distinction. Over time, this prestigious award has
evolved, constantly adapting to changes in our culture
and lifestyle. Twenty-five awards later, and over 30
establishments and 50 French chefs and sommeliers
have become its recipients. In recent years, initiatives
focusing on children, women, disabled and vulnerable
people have been awarded. In 2021, the 26th Gosset
Trophy reached a new milestone by honouring Stéphane
Bern – a staunch advocate and key contributor to French
culture – and by turning the spotlight on France’s
incredible tangible and intangible heritage, the shared
legacy at the root of its diversity.
The awards ceremony also provided the opportunity to
Jean-Pierre Cointreau, CEO of Gosset with award recipient Stéphane Bern
and cellarmaster Odilon de Varine
discover the new 2008 Celebris Rosé, with its amazing
complexity, vinosity and length on the palate, which is
brimming with promise.
