Friday, September 21, 2012 - The Selosse Initial has a well deserved reputation and is an incredibly stunning BdB. In fact, I have no doubt that this is one of the best NV BdB's in all of champagne. However, the flavors are very rich, deep, and complex, which could be off putting to someone used to light/aperatif BdB's. Personally I love the Selosse style, it is the Krug Grande Cuvee of BdB's to a certain extent. It has deep flavors of honey, caramel, biscuits, and spices along with wonderful minerality. There is also a certain saltiness that makes everything just pop once it hits the palate. Even though this is costly at roughly $130 per bottle, it is worth the price of admission and is a better value than the Selosse Substance which can approach $300.
