blind Guessed right. So fresh, no oxidation sign, pinenuts but a lot of orange peel and the spicy notes are in the background. At the moment I would prefer it to the 2008. Had it 2 weeks later. Again very impressive. 99

blind guessed Selosse 2009. The best champaagne I know from 2007. Crystal clear, great concentration and not oxidative. The bottle 2 weeks ago felt even fresher. 97

Hot Selosse summer '23 (Chicago, IL): For me, it was always a flip-flop between whether I preferred this or the 2009. In contrast to the 2009, this has far more acid-driven tension, though at the expensive of the opulent fruit. It's a little more simplistic than the 2008 as well, though for the most part all the parts were there, even if it felt like this was driven more by the acid than having a balance across all the components of the wine (like the 2008). Again with air, this was a wine that tightened up significantly; there was more structure and minerality with air. Not quite as impressive as my prior experience with this wine, mostly because it was overshadowed by the absolutely brilliant 2008.

Rich and vibrant with good layers and verve. Surprisingly accessible.

Obviously from a cold vintage, it’s a little lighter in the body but packed no less power. Fresh and more modern.
