Jacques Selosse

Brut Rosé Champagne Blend

October 2020 disgorgment is always so perfect, a particular favorite, with immense depth of red berry fruit and chalky minerality, a chiseled palate with singular texture and a finish that keeps on going. VO base with a touch of still Pinot from Francis Egly. Nothin’ like it 👑 — 5 months ago

La Closerie Fac-simile Extra Brut Pinot Meunier Rosé Champagne

Not sure if anyone’s noticed, but lately, my tasting notes here have been a little scarce. Not for lack of tasting - trust me, the bottles have been opened, the glasses filled, and my palate put to work. But so many have been uninspiring, fleeting, forgotten before the last sip. And then, boom! A bottle like this.

Popped in the morning, savored through the evening. Great at first, but by dinner, it had truly unfurled. The nose? Cherries, plums, warm spices, rose hips, pink peppercorn, chalk, and orange zest, with a whisper of apricot. The palate? Plush yet precise, broad yet focused. Biscuity richness and an electric minerality. A saline, vinous, full-bodied stunner that lingers impossibly long.

This just reaffirms what I think about this wine - one of the best pink expressions from Champagne, period.

NB: In my mind (and admittedly, limited experience), the best champagne rosé’s include:

Selosse Rosé - haven’t had it in ages, but many bottles had in the past have brought great joy.

Bouchard Enfer - honestly, my sample size is too small, but both times were really impressive; though it must be noted that my company then thought it was more intellectual than pleasurable (too phenolic and soft).

Bereche Remensis - best value rosé? Consistently delicious and complex.

I have heard from friends that the DP P2 and P3 rosé’s deserve to be high on any list. Hope to try them one day.

@Aaron Tan have noticed…and been there. Of the rosés you listed, I have only had the Bérêche and I would agree.

@Jay Kline I love the Remensis! Hope the prices remain modest. A friend added Doyard’s Oeil de Perdrix, which I’ve yet to try.

@Aaron Tan I have some Doyard in the cellar but not the “Œil de Perdrix”. Interestingly, I’ve had Jean Vesselle’s “Œil de Perdrix” in the last month and it was wonderful. But not on the same level as Remensis
