Lieux Dits Aÿ La Cote Faron Extra Brut Grand Cru Champagne Blend

9.7

The first “ah ha” Selosse wine for me many years ago. The south facing La Côte Faron is particularly “Selossien” and therefore particularly singular, with its oxidative complexity, textural richness and generous sun kissed ripe fruit expression. Like all Selosse wines, it’s layered and particularly aromatic for Champagne with intense caramelized red berry fruit, licorice and wildflower honey. The palate shows tremendous volume and intensity with a powerful, full bodied and satiny texture and a long, vibrant, mineral finish. So good. — 7 months ago

Amazing bubbles and quite unique.

Yes, the oxidative quality of this champagne stands alone, even amongst other Selosse wines. I adore it.

D:2019 Incredibly unique wine. Full on the pallete, coating with sugar, but still so clearly Selosse. — 3 years ago

LOVE. Loire might be my favourite French region.

Some green pepper on the nose. Dangerously drinkable. Food friendly. Went well with spiced ground beef and rice, but this red would be a good companion for red or white meat, Indian dishes, or on its own. — 6 years ago

Lieux Dits Les Carelles Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

Lee Pitofsky

9.8

Disg. 2/14 (07 base)…Always my favorite of the Lieux-Dits and without question one of the very best Blanc de Blancs Champagnes on the planet, it’s particularly special to have with some bottle age. It’s absolutely as stunning as hoped—rich and powerful with crazy depth to its layers with a deep, complex core of caramelized orchard fruit, roasted nuts, old rum barrels and candied white flowers, all with seamless integration. The palate is generous and detailed, with racy acids, waves of saline laced, chalky Le Mesnil minerals and a finish that just stays with you. A BdB benchmark, legendary bubbles. — 8 months ago

Does one become feral or are they born that why? Can some grapes be tamed?

La Closerie Les Béguines Extra Brut Champagne Pinot Meunier 2014

Bob McDonald

9.5

Very yeasty on the nose with Granny Smith Apple notes and pronounced minerality. 94% Pinot Meunière 2% Pinot Gris, 2% Chardonnay, and 2% Pinot Noir. Wild fermented and aged 10 months in barrels; 2.5grams/Litre dosage. Only 13,000 bottles made so it is difficult to source in Australia. Consumed this Champagne in Zalto Burgundy glasses like I had been advised to do with Jacques Selosse, a close colleague of Jerome Prevost. As both of these producers say these are wines first and Champagnes second so why not Burgundy glasses. Finishes very dry with cleansing acid. LC14 - year of harvest. Good and different. — 7 years ago

Between the top three Champagne I can afford, it has always been. Zalto glasses are a must, once you try them you can't go back

Bob McDonald

@Ceccherini Cristiano Yes traditional champagne flutes may look good with the bubbles rising up but they make judging the Champagne difficult IMO. There appears to be a trend towards more traditional wine glasses when drinking Champagne.

Ceccherini Cristiano

@Bob McDonald I personally started drinking Champagne in standard shape glass about 15 years ago
It is indeed a spectacular wine and then a fizzy one. And if you are lucky enough you will meet again an evolution after it loses the bubble with time. Then you deeply realize you've always dealt with a wine
