The Holiday Champagne Collection: 6-Bottle Bundle with the Gosset 12 Ans de Cave à Minima Rosé Extra Brut Complimentary! (6 x 750ml)

The holidays run on Champagne: the Thanksgiving toast, the tree-trimming party, the Christmas Eve seafood dinner, the New Year’s countdown, and the dozen unplanned “we should open something” evenings in between. This bundle is built for all of them. It’s six distinct Champagnes, from a famous grande marque to a family grower, from a juicy pink aperitif to a rosé that waited twelve years on its lees before anyone poured it, and the sixth bottle is complimentary, a rare, limited Gosset that critics scored 94.

The complimentary bottle is the showpiece. Gosset 12 Ans de Cave à Minima Rosé Extra Brut comes from Gosset, founded in 1584 and the oldest wine house in Champagne. It was bottled in 2010, rested on its lees for a minimum of twelve years before release, and then given a further six months of cellar time after disgorgement. Only about 7,000 bottles were made. It’s a blend of 65% Chardonnay and 35% Pinot Noir, finished with a dosage of 4.5 g/L, and it is the kind of bottle you save for the moment at the table when everyone goes quiet. Decanter scored it 94 (“a textural richness that speaks of profound chalk. This has all the makings of a gastronomic Champagne”), Wine Spectator scored it 94 (“ground ginger, lemon thyme and wet chalk, with a long, lasting finish”), and Gismondi on Wine gave it 94 as well.

Around it are five bottles chosen to cover every kind of holiday moment, from the first pour to the last: three rosés in three different styles, a benchmark Pinot Noir-led prestige non-vintage, and a vinous, oak-fermented grower Champagne.

Whether you’re hosting a big dinner, stocking up for the season, or giving a gift that says you really mean it, this is the case to open.

How to Pour the Case

Quick Overview

Serving Note

Serve all six at about 8-10°C (46-50°F) in white wine or tulip glasses rather than flutes, which let the aromas open. The Gosset 12 Ans and the Henri Giraud benefit from slightly warmer service (10-12°C) and a few minutes in the glass.
