Drinking at the source…Les Avises restaurant at Jacques Selosse. Home for the weekend at Hoteles Avises.
Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, with Anselme Selosse’s son showing his heritage with his personal label. Reminds me of the Jacques Selosse VO…the oxidative flair is there but balanced by crisp fruit that is able to shine (little dosage). It pours almost with a tinge of copper color. There is a whiff of sherry initially before it yields to spiced apple, pear, and honey. It feels more nervy on the palate than JSelosse champagnes do, with a core of tangy fruit, and a killer finish. I picked up a bottle to try again at a later date when I can focus on just it and not the accompanying meal (which was insanely good).

Better bottle than I previously had. Good acidity on the finish that provides a nice refresher to cap off dinner. Oxidized style remains in place from one generation to the next.
