Any day ending with a bottle of this wine is a good day. Consistently gorgeous, intense, sophisticated and delicious wine. Wet leaves, wet cellar, Jerez, chalk, mushrooms, bruised apples, honey and nuts. Perfectly balanced, multilayered and persistent. You wake up with every taste bud remembering the taste.

100% Pinot Meunier champagne without bubbles. Brilliant expression of how Bedel makes wine first and foremost. — 7 years ago

This bottle was tasted blind after a lengthy wine-tasting event. I was given two hints - it's available in Garage (Sabotage), and I haven't tasted it yet. Initially (???), my drunken mind suggested Clandestin. But after Vova asked me about the grape, I was like - shit, it's definitely Pinot Meunier. The wine is expressive, complex, aged (hehe, what an irony) and as delicious as promises of Heaven. It must be Bedel, and Jouvence is (probably) the only bottle I haven't tasted so far. Bingo!

What can I say? It's an incredible wine. Charming notes of mushrooms and wet cellar interleaved with honey, brioche, nuts, Jerez and honeysuckle. Intense, saline, perfectly balanced and prolonged. What else do you need? Authentic elixir of youth (c).

Degorgée 23 juillet 2012.
Encore une expérience wow avec Selosse ! Couleur or, beaucoup plus foncée que la majorité des champagnes. Présence qui tapisse la bouche de fruits à chair blanche. Texture crémeuse, style oxydatif, plus prononcé que Bedel bu dernièrement. Belle longueur. — 7 years ago
