Tight with a smirky smile. Gun powder and smoke unfolds into lemon vanilla, pear, coconut shavings, a little personality. — 6 months ago

9.1

Slow open, would love to see this in a couple years. Crunchy and clean. Red berries, hints of florals. Small whiffs of mouse towards the end, but held its structure through the end of the bottle. Opened for about 3-4 hours. Would love to check in on this year in a few years. — a month ago

2021 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 30 mins and 1.5 hours. Medium body. Suggestive nose. Nice melding of primary fruits and spices. Tough to lay off now. 12.5.25. — 5 months ago

@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego, a new (producer) name for me?? I know I’m not as “up” on Cote Rotie as 15-20 years ago.

Jacques Selosse

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

9.7

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

Amazing bubbles and quite unique.

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

Birth year! One of the best vintages for this wine, and 91 is showing amazing—rich, savory, satiny and ultra complex. A tour de force. If I was blinded I’d guess 20 years younger! — a month ago
