Jacques Selosse
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. — 21 days ago
Amazing bubbles and quite unique.
Yes, the oxidative quality of this champagne stands alone, even amongst other Selosse wines. I adore it.
Conrad Green
Soft and plush. Wild strawberry and wet stone. Some faint floral notes. Focused, delicate and precise. Haunting fruit. Still fresh.. a wonderful bottle. — 3 days ago
