  Typical Selosse's rusted iron colour, fine bubbles and a little bit strawberry in the nose. Nice freshness, chinotto, some strawberries and ripe plum together with some aromatic herbs (for amaro or digestivo liqueur) a little tannins even! Good length!

  vintage 2005. the wine was ok (not oxidized) but it was not exactly sparkling, the nose was rather closed.
  Beside that I´ve found delicious red berry fruits inside and a nice freshness.

  A rather interesting tasting; something about this wine is a bit destabilizing and unexpected, which ultimately lends to its charm. It took a moment to put my finger on a couple of the aromas & flavors that I experienced. Personally, I rather enjoyed it but I am not convinced that it would go over well with everyone and anyone.

  This is a rather pale rosé. The nose is quite striking, and I struggle to describe it... perhaps unripe white stone fruit. It's certainly not sweet.
  
  On the palate, this follows through in the form of a sort of bitter (rather than acid) fruitiness with quite a lingering finish. The mouthfeel is quite rich for a fizz.
  
  As it warms a little I find the bitter aspect a bit prominent, so I feel this needs to be kept quite cool. Then it's rather interesting, although probably not a crowd-pleaser. It's certainly on a par with lesser champagnes, and OK QPR at US$22.
