Jacques Selosse Initial Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay NV

Lee Pitofsky

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.

Selosse's wines always show better with post-disgorgement age. This bottle was disgorged in 2010, and it's really starting to pick up steam now.

2010 disgorged

Disgorged October 2010. A slightly oxidized nose that is joined by green apples, pears, and nuts. In the mouth it was like a plane on a runway ready to take off. Increasingly powerful impressions of citrus , chalk and creaminess. Great complexity and power.

Green apple, lime candy, sourdough.
