Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 27, 2012 - Lieux-Dits Champagnes from Jacquesson vs Selosse (Stockholm): Golden yellow colour. Powerful nose of dried yellow fruit, some oxidation notes, quite spicy, minerality that grows with time in the glass. Reminds me of rum-soaked raisins, if made with white or golden raisins. Quite powerful nose but also with a certain elegance. The palate give a slighty sweetish impression on the attack, rather concentrated yellow fruit with some dried fruit, rather high acidity, pronounced spiciness, minerally mid-palate and on the finish. Rather ready to drink, but will surely be able to take long time in the cellar.

Bottle disgorged 24 February 2011. Base wine from 2003 and 2004. Produced from base wine treated in a solera style, this is much more of an extreme creation than for example its blanc de blancs cousin Version Originale, and more akin to Substance, but from a single vineyard.

Of the three Selosse Lieux-Dits wines released in 2011, I'd rate this in the middle.
