Well, here we are. Selosse Initial. What is there really to say? Is it good? Is it great? Is it delicious? Does it live up to the hype? Did it change my life?
Yes.
A beautiful golden hue in the glass with profuse perlage. There’s no need for traditional notes here, we already know. Wonderfully electric, saline, and textured. Depth, personality, and romance.
Nothing I say here matters. Go get as many Selosse champagnes as you can. Then get a few more. And enjoy life. — a month ago
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! — 5 months ago
I got red plum and light earthy, leather. Really nice. Definitely but again — 5 months ago
