    January 12, 2024 - DSG 01/2012. Base 2005. Very fine bubble.

    Oxidative nose, peach, honey, mandarin, and candied pineapple.

    On the palate, the touch is exquisite although I did not expect so much evolution in this wine. It reminds me of a Jura wine or Substance. Once the oxidative veil has passed, the wine unfolds with exquisite flavors of mandarin peels, almonds, ginger, cinnamon and figs. This delicious complexity is revealed in layers, one by one, like the pages of a good book. Large finish on copper, with a majestic length which lines the throat with notes of honey.

    Great champagne, with a very special Selosse style.

    November 23, 2023 - Piemonte: Truffles instead of Turkey; 11/23/2023-12/2/2023 (Barolo, Barbaresco, Alto Piemonte and of course Alba): My guess is this is a slightly older disgorgement but oddly it didn’t have anything written on the disgorge date on the bottle. It is certainly the more oxidative style. A wine that wants to be a wine first and have bubbles second. Interesting for sure. Also interesting to try next to the Marie Ledru where her wine had a bit more refinement in style and this was a bit more plush and extra. Still both quite enjoyable.

    November 15, 2023 - Signature Selosse, with all the oxidative (but not brassy) hallmarks that make this a unique but not completely isolating Champagne. This was more deeply pitched and colored than a 2006 VC Grande Dame Rose next to it. The Sous Le Mont is so unctuous while amazingly staying fresh and honed. Its honey, almond, grilled lemon, and marzipan qualities are almost like a young Yquem with bubbles. Light on its feet for such a cerebral Champagne.

    Unknown disgorgement. The specific spot on the label that said ‘cette bouteille a ete degorge’ was unfortunately left blank or wiped off/completely faded.

    November 11, 2023 - Duck, duck, abortion!; 11/11/2023-11/17/2023: Nose showed gentle oxidative notes with a white, bitter floral note that helped give it some lift, golden honey, light notes of peaches, and peeled tangerines with its veins of pith. The aromas of peeled tangerines are pretty vivid, like you’re actually holding them in your hands.

    Flavors seem to match the nose completely with nice bitter hay, a somehow fresh oxidative note, pleasantly deep golden fruits with a slightly odd bitterness (like overgrown tangerines as a result of overwatering). Shows just a bit better with some air time. Great freshness and lift, and thank goodness for it because I’m sure without it, this would’ve lost a ton of excitement.

    Unfortunately, I did not note down the disgorgement date, it was smeared off by accident.

    November 11, 2023 - Classic Selosse with an oxidative nose, honey color in glass, and hints of almonds, fig and minerality. I would not have pegged this as 100% pinot. Although I preferred the Substance tasted earlier this year, Selosse in general is still one of the benchmarks of champagne.
