Description
UNPREDICTABLE SELOSSE!
It is above all the small vignerons who make a great Champagne, because they follow their own logic made up of exceptions to the rules and a philosophy of its own. Selosse is exactly like this: an unknown! No one vintage is the same as another, no one bottle is the same as another; the vineyards, located among the best Grand Crus around Avize, are all grown following a biodynamic regime and the fermentations are also spontaneous, with indigenous yeasts. It is not uncommon to hear Anselme Selosse say 'at a certain point I added more must to the barrique and, when it started to foam, I bottled it'. Because this is how these Champagnes are born, spontaneous, authentic, driven in their oxidations, provocative and unique. Simply delicious.

Delicate copper pink with subtle perlage, on the nose it shows a very particular nose of incense and sandalwood, then pink pepper and nutmeg, with whiffs of berry tart and iodized veins. A taste that leaves you breathless with its power, personality and depth, it manages to perfectly blend the balance between oxidation, which is present and typical, with the almost citrus freshness. The iodine persistence is very long from which the toasted almond can also be glimpsed.

With smoked salmon, steamed amberjack, it is delicious with octopus in a spicy stew.
