TASTING NOTES: One of the pinnacles of the tasting with Selosse, unsurprisingly, is the NV Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Substance, a wine with the most complex making, going through four stages of maturation: from barrels to the bottle. As always, it derives from a solera created in 1986. Originally, the wine was sourced from two parcels in Avize, but today the base wine (which eventually contributes only about 4.8% to the final blend in the bottle) is produced from a selection of plots in the village. Guillaume opted to include parcels that best fit the desired balance—sometimes these will be south-facing, other times east or even north-facing sites. Muscular and multidimensional, it jumps from the glass with a bouquet of kaleidoscopic complexity, featuring notes of orange zest, spices, beeswax, toasted hazelnuts and dried fig. On the palate, it is full-bodied, vinous and textural yet searingly chalky—even more mineral than Les Chantereines. Guillaume Selosse remarks that oxidation during maturation (and through multiple transfers between different vessels) frees the wine from fruit in a classic sense, leaving mostly chalky extract and enhancing its mineral aspect. Every time I taste at this great domaine, I vacillate between Substance and the lieux-dits as to which wine best defines this benchmark producer. The latest release was disgorged in July 2024 with 1.5 grams per liter dosage and promises a concentrated, unforgettable drinking experience.

Champagne

About Champagne

Champagne, the epitome of sparkling wine elegance and celebration, hails from the namesake region in northeastern France, approximately 90 miles from Paris. The unique terroir, marked by a cool climate and chalky soils, sets the stage for the distinctive qualities of the grapes cultivated in this renowned viticultural area.

Crafted predominantly from three grape varieties – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier – Champagne undergoes a meticulous production process known as the traditional method or méthode champenoise. This involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle, fostering the creation of effervescence, while an extended period on lees imparts complexity to the wine's flavor profile.

Champagne offers a diverse array of styles, including Non-Vintage (NV) blends for consistency, Vintage Champagnes from exceptional years, Rosé Champagnes often created with a touch of red wine, and Prestige Cuvées showcasing the pinnacle of a producer's artistry.

The sweetness levels of Champagne vary, denoted by terms such as Brut, Extra Brut, Sec, and Demi-Sec. Brut, the most prevalent style, signifies a dry Champagne.

The landscape of Champagne includes both venerable Champagne houses like Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Dom Pérignon, as well as smaller, independent growers focusing on estate-grown grapes. The region is protected by the French AOC system, emphasizing the exclusive use of the name "Champagne."

Globally recognized and associated with special occasions, Champagne is a symbol of luxury and joy. The Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne (CIVC) oversees regulations and quality standards, highlighting the economic importance of Champagne production for the region.

Whether sipped as an aperitif, paired with a meal, or toasting to a milestone, Champagne stands as an iconic and cherished sparkling wine, embodying the artistry, tradition, and effervescence that define this illustrious French wine.
