Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 27, 2012 - Lieux-Dits Champagnes from Jacquesson vs Selosse (Stockholm): Bright- to golden yellow colour. A nose with clearly minerally smoke notes with some dust of crushed stones, discrete hint of mature yellow fruit with some exotic fruit, peach and papaya can be found, some honey and a hint of dried fruit. Powerful nose with well integrated oak notes, that is very reminiscent of a white Burgundy from Côte de Beaune. Pronounced minerality on the palate, powerful, spicy, rather high acidity, slight impression of salinity and bitterness, aftertaste with grapefruit. Young, would gain from some cellaring. 92+ p.

Bottle disgorged 20 July 2011, probably with base wine from 2002, 2003 and 2004. A bit more accessible and enjoyable already than I'd expected from a V.O. at 9 months after disgorgement. This batch may very well warrant a higher score with some additional time in the cellar.
