  • 95 pts. Disgorged 01/21 Deep golden complex flavors of honey apple crumble pineapple walnut an brioche. Full bodied fine bubbles and very very long

  • At first very closed and not showing much. But it gradually relaxed in the breezy Spring night air after a couple of hours to display a daintily oxidized pinot noir. Subtle and elegant but surely better in a few more years. Otherwise, decant well in advance.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
