From the Gosset Antique range comes..

Another sparkler to hit the market is the Champagne Gosset, Grand Blanc de Blancs (rrp £69).

Under the auspices of the Antique Range - it consists of a combination of 100% Chardonnay grapes from three vintages (2003, 2004 and 2005) and joins its Grande Réserve, Grand Rosé and Grand Millésime. Cellar master Jean-Pierre Mareigner selected the finest grapes from 15 villages and the new Grand Blanc de Blancs and is a precious concentration of the 'terroir' of Côtes des Blancs and Côtes des Noirs. It will be aged in deep cellars for at least five years. As with the other Gosset Antique range, it is packed in a smart black gift box for maximum on-shelf impact.  The range is colour coded for ease of identification and is produced in line with the company's commitment to sustainable development.
