Tasting Notes

Selosse's NV (2008) Aÿ La Côte Faron is a bundle of energy. Tightly-wound yet with notable depth, the La Côte Faron boasts superb intensity and drive on the palate, with plenty of Pinot fruit on full display. Smoke, mint and wild flowers emerge over time, but with great reluctance. This is another Champagne to forget about for at least a few years. Disgorged February 18, 2015. Dosage is 1.3 grams/liter. Drink 2018-2028.

The NV Extra-Brut Grand Cru La Cote Faron is ridiculously great. Layers of fruit emerge effortlessly from this large-scaled, dramatic Champagne. The wine needs quite of time to open up, but when it does it is a stunner. This is pure Ay in its rich, voluptuous personality and creamy texture. Red berries, dried flowers, licorice, mint and licorice are layered into the rich, seductive finish. Readers who prefer a more mineral-driven style of Blanc de Noirs will prefer the Le Bout de Clos, Selosse's wine from Ambonnay, while those who prefer a more overt expression of fruit will flip out over the Cote Faron. Either way, it's hard to lose. They are both magnificent. Disgorged February 21st, 2011. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015.
