Jacques Selosse V.O. 'Version Originale' Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut

"This release of NV Champagne Blanc de Blancs V.O. Extra Brut (Version Originale) was disgorged in April of 2021. It pours a rich straw color with a golden hue, and the nose is expressive, intoxicating, and round, revealing a generous liqueur of hazelnuts, praline, golden apple, and toast. Dry, with rich extract and concentration throughout, the texture is fine yet persistent with chalkiness and underlying tension, with its toffee notes continuing to envelop the long finish. It is drinking exceptionally well and should continue to drink well over the next 10 or more years." - 95/100 James Suckling
