For four centuries, great care has been taken to maintain the reputation of the brand, and to preserve a family know-how in making champagne.
In 1584 Pierre Gosset, alderman of A˙ and wine-grower, made still, mostly red, wines from the grapes he harvested from his own vines. In those days, two wines vied for pride of place at the table of the Kings of France : the wine of A˙ and, from some hundreds of leagues further South, the wine of Beaune. Both were made from the same grape varieties Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The reputation of the wine of A˙ was such that François the First had his own winery built there, which is now owned by Champagne Gosset. Then, in the 18th century the wine made in and around A˙ began to bubble, and the Gosset family turned naturally to the production of champagne.
At Gosset, part of the wine-making process takes place in wooden vats for the selection presented in the old-style bottle. No malolactic fermentation is permitted, in order to preserve the fine malic acid that retains the naturally fruity aroma of the wines. And still, as always, the poignettage, the manual riddling, and the dégorgement, removal of the sediment, are carried out by hand, every day, according to the finest tradition of the house.

The GOSSET charter of excellence, recognised for centuries, is the origin of the prestige and the distinction of GOSSET champagne across the world. With this charter, GOSSET undertakes to respect the fundamental values and traditions of perfection:
Only the first presses are used in making GOSSET champagne.
The first fermentation is never followed by a malolactic fermentation, which ensures GOSSET champagne can be kept for longer.
GOSSET wines that use the best villages of the Marne region (Grands Crus and Premiers Crus) with a level is a classification of 95% on the official Cru scale.
Hand riddling is still used by GOSSET and preceeds traditional disgorgement (removal of sediment).
Before being shipped out, GOSSET champagne remains in the calm and fresh atmosphere of GOSSET cellars.
