Wine Enthusiast: 96 Points

Aged for 10 years before disgorging and a further time before release this is Gosset's top wine from a great vintage year. Extra Brut means it is dry although the age of this wine has softened the intense acidity and turned it into an elegant mature wine of great complexity as well as immediate attraction. It will age further at least until 2022 although it is totally drinkable now.

Vinous: 96 Points

"Magnificent in its complexity and pure breeding the 2002 Extra Brut Celebris has it all. The Extra Brut style confers the signature Gosset drive while extended time on the lees has given the wine just enough texture and body to fill out nicely. In the meantime the aromas and flavors have mellowed into those that are typical of Champagne entering the first plateau of its maturity. The 2002 is vinous fleshy and super-expressive yet retains striking freshness throughout. Candied lemon peel apricot jam honey mint spices and sage form a compelling fabric of flavors and textures in a knock-out Champagne that is peaking today. The 2002 is 52% Chardonnay 48% Pinot Noir from vineyards in Aÿ Bouzy Verzy Chouilly and Cramant."

Wine Spectator: 94 Points

"Graceful and structured by firm focusing acidity this delivers flavors of apricot tart white raspberry raw almond and lemon preserves with a hint of crystallized honey on the vibrant ethereal mousse. Offers a persistent lightly smoky finish. "
