1945 Unknown Chambolle-MusignyPinot Noir more |
12/23/2023 - giba ochman Likes this wine: 95 pointsUnbelievable!!! Leon Salesse is a negociant. The bottle is in excellent condition, with 4 cm of ullage. Cork removed in one piece with Durand. It was not decanted. Dark ruby color, vivid in the center and progressively brownish towards the edges. Good nose, with wet earth, sweet pepper, coffee. In the mouth it is balanced, with still striking acidity and a discreet volatility. Tertiary characteristics predominate, earth, mushrooms, pepper, a touch of black fruits, all in balance. Tannins resolved, but still present, silky. What is most impressive is the combination of refinement and persistence, difficult to believe in a village Burgundy wine that is almost 80 years old. No apparent signs of addition of other wines in this case, which was relatively common at this time. Drink immediately after opening for 3 hours without loss of initial quality. 1945 is possibly the most reliable and resilient of old Burgundy vintages to drink today. Recommended if you can find it |

3/18/2017 - giba ochman Likes this wine: 95 pointsdisg. 11/19/2007 - Mature Selosse is always a treat. This bottle is in the nice place now, with pinot flavours and a long finish. Strawberries, bread, honey, spicy... The acidity is surprisingly present for a old champagne by Selosse, what make this wine so special in the context of a full body champ. I recommend hold recent disgorgement rose Selosse if you wish to explore the real limit of this elixir. If you can find this champs, buy and start to dream!!! Drink now |

10/13/2016 - giba ochman Likes this wine: 95 pointsDeg 09/05/2006. The deg date is essential to Selosse and show the evolution of the wine and the best moment to drink. I like older champs and to me this is so good. Oxidative and secundary flavours, with honey, toast bread, spicy. Very good with Japanese food. Drink now. |
