Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2020 “Aux Lieux-Dits” pours a deep garnet with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of fresh, ripe brambles, garrigue, red flowers, and inorganic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. There is a solid sense of place from this expression. Drink now through 2035. — 2 months ago

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. — 7 months ago

From 4 lieux-dits in Meursault, aged in barrel for 12 months, 20% new, and in concrete eggs for 8 months.

This Meursault is radiant and expressive in the stellar ‘22 vintage. Aromas of yellow peach, baked apple, and a hint of hazelnut. Broad palate with creamy texture balanced by a fresh, citric line. Good depth and long finish. A charming Meursault with finesse. — 5 months ago

For the most part, I’ve had nearly exclusively 100% Pinot Muenier from Mousse & Fils. My first 100% Chardonnay from them.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is labeled Extra Brut at 1.5g, which is technically a nature. Amazing how often Champagne is missed label given French wine laws. Just goes to show you, you need to check them if you have a sweetness preference.

Mousse & Fils makes really nice cuvées if you haven’t had them. For many years really great QPR’s. They have increased their prices points but it’s reasonable, just not as good as they once were. But what is today!

The palate has it all. Beautiful mousse. Bruised Bosc pear & apple to cider, lime zest/pulp, lemon with meringue, pineapple juice, tropical melons, graham cracker crust, whipped cream, white spice w/ some palate heat, yeasty bread dough to baguette crust, limestone minerals with crumbled chalk, grey volcanic minerals, touch of dry herbs, yellow flowers, jasmine & spring flowers, grand, lively acidity, nice structure/tension, excellent balance with a smartly polished/elegant finish that lasts minutes and lands on volcanics & spice. — 7 months ago

Well balanced acid paired with yeasty, brioche notes. Paired well with a wide variety of food. — 4 months ago

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. — 6 months ago

Started off pretty tannic on the finish, decanted for a hour or so total smooth out to the point hey I want some tannins. Incredibly vevetly smooth wine one of the best Sirah I have drank very balanced. They kept the alcohol in the lower range 13.5% Getting a little expensive for me but just had to try some. — 9 months ago
