Noizè Legends (Noizé): 2022 disgorgement, NV Amber hue stands out immeadiately and good mousse. Savoury nose with tapenade, burnt orange, iodine, Palate delivers on the nose with rich intensity but enough BdB cut. Very long lingering finish and (to borrow a word from Josh) a toothsome body. I thought this was absolutely delicious and fascinating

Disgorged July 2015. Wonderfully mature, and simply exceptional.
To me, the brilliance of Selosse is his wines ability to enrapture experienced drinkers with their richness, depth, and evolution... while at the same time, grasping novice drinkers with their intrigue and pleasure.
Such special wines, especially with this amount of bottle age. Tonight this was richly nutty, oxidative, coated with deeply buttered pastry and driven by a chalky mineralogy. Stunning.

Certainly not as good as my last bottle. Similar characteristics like dark color, but not nearly as good as I remembered in our last bottle, but that’s wine…

(NV Jacques Selosse Blanc de Blancs Brut Initiale, Champagne, France) This classic Blanc de Blancs is hands down the most memorable white wine I have tried this year. Not knowing what to expect, I discovered depth and power. I am still reeling from the finish, so delicate yet persistent, without becoming rapacious. As a personal indulgence for special moments—birthdays or holidays, with family and friends—this is a perfect choice. The wine is assembled from three vintages and aged two years before disgorgement.
