  August 28, 2022 - Beautiful structural complexity powered through the acid as it dances in your palate. The bubbles and overall structure feels a bit constrained at start, concentrating the wine around it. Quite austere bubbles, almost Krug like, bubbles reminding me of sweet brown grains/toasted sugar keeping it all in check.
  
  Paired amazingly with the Sunflower Butter at Eleven Madison Park.
  
  Continual evolution. As the wine integrates, it develops this syrupy richness. Almost sherry-esque, but I've never had a sherry with this much buoyancy and grace. Very rich ripe apple notes start coming off about 1.5 hours after the wine opens, and the fruit flavors really sing at that point.
  
  There's certainly more I can write -- but I'd be doing the wine a disservice. There's certainly a reason why the wines skyrocketed in price -- it almost seems like they're trying to match the 80s Krug in price.

  August 9, 2022 - Hand disgorged in front of us by Anselme. It started off showing baker’s yeast and brioche. It as creamy rich with cinnamon spice. There were layers of chalk and citrus fruit and the finish had oyster shell/iodine freshness.

  April 8, 2022 - The 2005 Selosse has entered into its drinking window and offering much more than the last bottle I had 5 years ago. Blend of Chantereines and Mont de Cramant. Gorgeous bouquet of ripe and forward citrus and nectarines, sweet oak toast, cream soda and distinctive Selosse sherry like scent on the finish. Energetic and seriously powerful. Fresh and less oxidative compared to the 2008 I had recently. (95/100)

  November 14, 2021 - Brilliant golden color. Bottle disgorged 2015. Intense multilayered and complex nose oxidative notes like apple Sherry and fresh roasted walnuts Besides some elegant exotic fruits and some butter brioche. Full bodied with almost creamy bubbles and super long and persistent finish.
