  April 29, 2024 - Cru Crew Wine dinner hosted by Brad England (Mara restaurant at the Four Seasons hotel in Minneapolis, MN.): Very nice. Nice bouquet of baked bread. Oxidative style. Very fresh.

  January 30, 2024 - I expected this to show it's age but it's amazing how making wine in an oxidized style can effectively inoculate a wine and make it last. This is very complex and still very fresh with gorgeous notes of baked bread and oxidation with hints of butterscotch and lemon oil. Still with good bubbles and excellent verve and concentration. Amazing!

  October 22, 2021 - Light slightly oxidized rose color. Buttered rye bread, a touch of satsuma, and nutmeg on the unbelieveable nose. The bubbles are so microscopic as to be invisible, but make their presence felt in the tasting. Notes of satsuma with a delicious sour zest note at the end. It is hard to overstate how stellar, overpowering, yet nuanced the citric acids are. The satsuma guides the wine into a seemingly eternal finish. This is the most extraordinary champagne I have ever had the pleasure to drink. With Stash at Daniel’s in New York City.

  November 13, 2018 - Salted caramel and buttered popcorn. Still lively and effervescent. Dense and concentrated. Nearly syrupy in terms of developed sweetness and breadiness although there is still an acid and citrus kiss here. Very special to try and very good.

  October 13, 2018 - The best 88 Champagnes from 1988 Part 1/3; 10/12/2018-10/13/2018 (Les Crayeres Reims): Blind, Jamesse Synergie Glas
  This time not so strong as 2 years ago where it hits the maximum. The nose is typical Selosse. Powerful, Creme brull, dried fruits, but today missing a little bit length and bubbles to keep him fresher. 94-95
