History: Since assuming control of his father's estate in 1974, Anselme & Corinne Selosse have redefined Champagne with fastidious viticulture, innovative élevage, and intensely vinous Champagnes. Selosse features some of the lowest yielding vines in the region - leading to the region's ripest, most expressive fruit.

Jacques Selosse NV 'Initiale' Blanc de Blancs Brut, Champagne Grand Cru AOC
Rating: 93
(disgorged April 24, 2012): Bright
gold. A strikingly complex bouquet evokes peach nectar, poached pear,
turbinado sugar marzipan and smoky minerals. Offers intense candied
citrus and orchard fruit flavors that pick up honey and chalky mineral
notes with air. The impressively long, sappy finish shows excellent
clarity and features seductive floral, spicecake and honey qualities.
