  Not blind
  This is an elegant monster. The oxidation is nearly not existent. The pine nuts in the background. Very dense and balanced. Very drinkable in this young stage. Lemon peel, cinnamon and some biscuits. 98

  Hot Selosse summer '23 (Chicago, IL): While this was undoubtedly a fantastic bottle of Champagne, I think I was still somewhat disappointed in it because given the vintage, I was hoping for fireworks (even if a different colour) akin to the 2008. The nose here is sweeter, and shows ripe fruit very prominently. On the palate, there's a slightly creamy texture and a distinctly lower acid profile. The warm vintage shows through very clearly here in how fruit-forward this is relative to the other wines. With air, the texture did tighten up and you got more chalky chew on the back end. At the end of the day, I was a tossup between this and the 2007 for the second and third place wines -- they seemed to have strengths and deficiencies in their own way and depending on the moment I wanted one or the other.

  Selosse Lieux Dit Tasting: Unmistakably selosse. Slight sweet toasty nuts. Layers and layers of intense fruit. Brilliant acidity to balance. Fantastic wine.

  Selosse Millesime Vertical 1995-2009: The vivid nose of cinnamon, citrus, and pine nuts. Very energetic palate with honey apple. Like the 02, the minerality here is impeccable. Long and satisfying finish. Truly a modern classic.

  A stunning bottle of wine. Complexity, energy, balance - everything you could want in a bottle of champagne.
