2014 Vintage. Wow! So much depth and very refined. Notes of black plum and white flowers. Vanilla, plush cherry and hints of black licorice. Like a velvet smoking jacket- dead sexy. — 6 years ago

(Disgorged 2/15)- Always and forever my number 1 Lieux-Dits and without question one of the very best Blanc de Blancs Champagnes on the planet, tonight it is extra special with its coveted 2008 base and 2015 disgorgement. Always with imposing power, drive and crazy depth to its layers, it unfurls in a Burgundy glass to reveal its complex core of rich orchard fruit, roasted nuts, gun smoke, toasty oak and candied white flowers, all with seamless integration and balance. The palate is generous and detailed, with ripping citrusy acids, waves of saline laced chalky Le Mesnil minerals and a finish that just keeps going. For me, a BdB benchmark. — 2 years ago

Last bottle of six, and is as brilliant today as it was six years ago. Must check out out a recent vintage. — 5 years ago

Initial is the most produced in quantity and can be referred to as the “entry level” bottling for Selosse but really, it is anything but, and should not be overlooked. Particularly so with some bottle age. 2018 disgorgment is in a great spot and wafts from the glass with distinctive Selossien aromas of caramelized stone fruit, roasted nuts, honeycomb, gun smoke and floral undertones. The palate is rich, powerful and deep with racy acids and a chalky mineral core. It has both freshness and oxidative complexity yielding a complete, balanced and utterly seamless Champagne. Selosse perfection for me is 5-6 years post disgorgement and this is entering that window in great fashion. Always a treat. — 3 years ago

Apricots from a smoking gun...!
A deadly combination.
Also whiffs of underripe pine-apple, rockdust, candied lemons, ginger, saffron and white pepper.
Great acidity and electricity from start to finish.
A truly magnificant Chardonnay. — 5 years ago
