Initial Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

The party begins. Fine bubbles. So refined.

2012 base vintage. Lovely bright lemon and slate. A peachy, fleshy note. Vivid and clear. Kinda dramatic and showy but with real substance and great acidity. Wow.

2002 base. Light peach and white flowers. Great cut and definition. Slate and chalk. Hard edges. Very good.

Base Year 1996. Musty-ish honeyed nose. Rich floral notes of Jasmine and honeysuckle. Light tea and brioche.sizzling acidity. Odd pairing but dynamic

Classic. Toast. Creamy.

Celebration worthy 🍾

Finale bubbles from my favorite grower. Intense, complex and powerful. Apple tart tatin, tropical fruits, baked brioche, spices and a hint of caramel drizzle. Finishes with excellent length and focused acidity. 🥂

Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the disgorgement date but I know it is pre 2013. Aromas of baked apples , nuts and hints of oxidation. Robust acidity and complex flavors tease your tongue but somehow lacked the energy level I expect with this producer. Definitely more oxidative in the mouth then on the nose.

Love the Selosse style. Simply amazing stuff

Killer bubbles
