2010 "Millésime" Extra Brut 1er Cru , Grands Crus d'Avize, Jacques Selosse, Champagne

Jacques Selosse :
The Domaine Jacques Selosse was founded in 1949 in the village of Avize, a Grand Cru area in Champagne. Anselme Selosse, the son of Jacques Selosse, took over the domaine in 1974 and has turned it into a rising star of Champagne.

Only 50,000 bottles of Domaine Jacques Selosse are produced each year from their 7.5 hectares of vineyards, which are spread across exceptional terroirs that Anselme Selosse has meticulously worked on, parcel by parcel.

The Chardonnay parcels are located in the Côte des Blancs, specifically in Avize, Cramant, Oger, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, while the Pinot Noir parcels come from Montagne de Reims, including Aÿ, Ambonnay, and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ.

The quality of Selosse Champagnes is recognized by all major critics, and due to the limited production, their bottles are highly sought after all over the world.

Wine Advocate:
Demonstrative and charming, Selosse's 2010 Extra-Brut Millésime will be a great vintage to drink while patient readers are waiting on the 2010. Bursting from the glass with botrytis-inflected aromas of tangerine, crisp yellow orchard fruit, citrus blossom, clear honey and toasted nuts, it's full-bodied, satiny and pillowy, with an open, expressive profile that lends it real immediacy. Guillaume Selosse explains that to produce the Millésime, he doesn't select the "best" barrels from each of the lieux-dits, but rather those with a more pronounced personality. The 2010 likely won't be the most long-lived vintage of this bottling, but it will deliver enormous pleasure over the next decade.
