Produced by Anselme and Corinne Selosse - owners of "les Avizes" hotel - a place I will visit to learn more about this fascinating producer. This wine is not like any champagne you have had before, your "initiale" impression might jolt your senses!! You must have an open mind and allow this wines innate qualities to take over. *oxidized style, a kiss of balsamic or sherry from time in wood and age of cuvée - this wine was disgorged in 2011 and is a blend of 03-04-05. I think a Tete de cuvée seeker will stumble on this wine and try to fit it in the wrong frame - at $250 it comes with expectations that a good Sommelier will need to steer. This is not like Krug or anything else - it is so unique that you probably need to totally remove your mind from Champagne.... With that said, this wine haunts my mind!!! Two days later it is all I can think about. I will attempt to describe: stewed apricot, lime zest, quince, balsamic, vanilla, and a bubble so faint that it acts like a housekeeper just refreshing the room that is your palate. Haunting - charming - devious - sensual - erotic - mind altering....must have again soon. — 11 years ago
