Millésime Extra Brut Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay 2005

Ripping and lively. This was my first time trying this champagne and it did not disappoint. Waves of fresh fleshy fruit mixed with a salinity and length that popped. Loved this! — 14 days ago

Ozanne Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

One more to finish of the bubbles theme over the last couple days! Made by Selosse's cellar hand, the wine is a dead ringer for a Selosse. Not just from the almost identical label (font is the same) and foil capsule. These were, like this 2018 disgorgement, made in the Selosse cellars. Blanc de Blancs and very dry, good oxidation, but with no other details on the label I don't have more details.

Med+ gold, mild petillance. The nose rises easily from the glass with a multitude of fruits, spices, savory and mineral nuances...lemon, lemon oil, mandarin, oyster shell, chalk, saline, with dried florals, subtle spices and toast, ginger. The palate is med bodied, the flavor density gives the perception of a fuller wine (med+), it is just a modest 12%. The palate is rich, powerful, and full of complexity. The finish is long, complex, and finishes with some serious cut! Outstanding!

Very nice. Not too ripe. Can tell there’s cinsault in there. — 17 days ago

@John Howard, do you know whether this producer is possibly the son/nephew of Etienne Gonnet, a “newish” CdP producer from the early 1990s (IIRC)??

Lieux Dits Aÿ La Cote Faron Extra Brut Grand Cru Champagne Blend

The first “ah ha” Selosse wine for me many years ago. The south facing La Côte Faron is particularly “Selossien” and therefore particularly singular, with its oxidative complexity, textural richness and generous sun kissed ripe fruit expression. Like all Selosse wines, it’s layered and particularly aromatic for Champagne with intense caramelized red berry fruit, licorice and wildflower honey. The palate shows tremendous volume and intensity with a powerful, full bodied and satiny texture and a long, vibrant, mineral finish. So good. — 2 months ago

Yes, the oxidative quality of this champagne stands alone, even amongst other Selosse wines. I adore it.

Brut Rosé Champagne Blend

Half-price wine night! Red wine notes of raspberry toast and some tannin surprise the clinical taster. Bubbles take a back seat to intense flavors. — 4 months ago

@Jan de Weerd a truly exceptional Champagne. Quite a lot of hype around the producer and often in this situation the wines don't live up to it or arent your taste. This was amazing!
Sidenote: if you are ever in Paris then the restaurant was great. Offered the wine for below market price as well🥳

Lieux Dits Les Carelles Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

Disg. 2/14 (07 base)…Always my favorite of the Lieux-Dits and without question one of the very best Blanc de Blancs Champagnes on the planet, it’s particularly special to have with some bottle age. It’s absolutely as stunning as hoped—rich and powerful with crazy depth to its layers with a deep, complex core of caramelized orchard fruit, roasted nuts, old rum barrels and candied white flowers, all with seamless integration. The palate is generous and detailed, with racy acids, waves of saline laced, chalky Le Mesnil minerals and a finish that just stays with you. A BdB benchmark, legendary bubbles. — 4 months ago
