90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The NV Brut Excellence is a terrific effort at this level. A fragrant, open bouquet leads to deep, layered core of fruit. The wine shows gorgeous complexity, nuance and a multi-dimensional personality that is simply compelling. The Brut Excellence is 45% Pinot Noir, 13% Pinot Meunier and 42% Chardonnay. The significant presence of red grapes gives the wine much of its breadth and richness on the palate. This is Lot # L745-1422, disgorged 1st week of December, 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2014.

Gosset, Champagne’s oldest house, is a reference-point producer of racy, vibrant wines loaded with character. None of the wines undergo malolactic fermentation. Unfortunately, this year there are no new releases in the top of the line Celebris series." - Antonio Galloni (Dec 2009)

90 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"A broad Champagne, featuring nice definition and flavors of pear pastry, black licorice and smoke on a delicately textured, creamy mousse. Shows fine length, with a lingering ginger note. Drink now through 2013." –AN (Nov 30, 2010)

90 Points - Wine & Spirits Magazine:
"A robust and classically styled Champagne, this is rich and creamy in the middle, braced by steely acidity. It feels clean and polished, a fragrant wine for plump littleneck clams."
