  Winey and mature nose, pear and some oxidative notes but much less than with Père Anselme.
  
  Very spicy palate, dominant apple and pear with strong vinosity in the background. Very nice balance with a tension which carries this juice of very good quality. The difference in style is there, the oxidative notes are more delicate. It is especially the spicy side which brings a nice complexity. Great finale, ethereal but vibrant.
  
  I've tasted it better than a year ago on an older disgorgement.

  April 21, 2024 - Two weeks in France; 4/12/2024-4/24/2024: Don’t have much experience with Selosse but discussed with Benoit who said Guillaume is making more precise wines which are less variable than his dad’s. Golden in colour, still quite oxidative with precise citrus fruit. Good, but overall less interesting than the two stunning Gaspard Brochets.

  April 3, 2024 - Nose: nutty, meat, honey, hints of green apple, dried apricot
  Notes: 12.5％ ABV extra brut. This perhaps would show a slight discount in terms of quality to the usually Jacques Selosse NVs but I'd argue that this is still a wonderful and delicate Champagne. Believed to be base wine from 2015 ans disgogrged November 2021. Made in a less oxidative way than the normal selosse this is quite a nice and balanced blancs de noirs with 100％ pinot noir. It is in my opinion extremely difficult to make a good blanc de noirs and despite the nice complexity achieved here I still find this a tad too full and rich.

  February 4, 2024 - Had this for the first time back in November at Les Avizes where Jacques Selosse is located. Thankfully I was able to get another bottle to bring home. 96+ for now. With a few more years post disgorgement, this will be even better.
  
  100% Pinot noir. 0 g/l dosage. May 2023 disgorgement.
  
  Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, with Anselme Selosse’s son showing his heritage with his personal label. Profile wise, this reminds me of the Jacques Selosse VO…the oxidative flair is there but balanced by crisp fruit that is able to shine. It pours almost with a tinge of copper color. There is a whiff of fino sherry initially before it yields to spiced apple, pear, and honey. The longer it’s open, the more layered it becomes (with the sherry flair staying consistent, but not a dominant note). It feels more nervy on the palate than JSelosse champagnes do, with a core of tangy fruit, and a killer finish that doesn’t want to stop. The Kimmeridgien soils come through at the end.
