Selosse - Rosé MV [deg'25]

Champagne Club by Richard Juhlin

Slightly cooler fruit than usual where cherries and strawberries almost shine with their absence and are overshadowed by orange, grapefruit and brazil nuts. Hint of licorice and fine mineral grain, but preferably store a little longer.

From a bottle disgorged in December 2018, Selosse's NV Brut Rosé is based on his V.O. blend, with the addition of Pinot Noir from his friend Francis Egly. Bursting with scents of dried fruits, white cherries, beeswax and spices, the wine is full-bodied, broad and fleshy, with Pinot Noir phenolics only amplifying the chalky, mineral signature that defines the V.O.—making for a remarkably vinous, gastronomic Champagne.

The NV Champagne Brut Rosé is 92% Chardonnay from the chalky middle portion of the slopes within Avize, Cramant and Oger, with the still wine of Pinot Noir coming from Ambonnay. Pouring a golden orange hue, it’s elegant and medium-bodied, opening to refined aromas of fresh peach, orange blossom, orgeat, and saline. Crisp, linear, and vibrant on the palate, it takes on its chalky straightness with a silky texture of wet stone and has significantly more tension, as well as a long-lasting, salty finish. This is one of my personal favorite Rosé Champagnes. Drink 2024-2039. 2.7 grams per liter of dosage.

An assemblage of Avize chardonnay and Ambonnay pinot noir, this has handy pedigree. It's a fresh, fleshy and gently spicy Champagne on the nose with chalk and graphite-like savory influence ahead of dried berries, berry tea and lightly toasted nuts. The palate has plenty of flesh but Selosse still gives centre stage to the acidity and minerally flavors. The finish is chalky and crisp. Love the really pure, polished texture with smooth phenolics here. What a great Champagne! Drink now.
