NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Jacques Selosse Millésime Extra Brut Champagne Grand Cru is an exceptional wine with the expertise and craftsmanship of the renowned Champagne house.This particular cuvée is made from grapes sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards, ensuring the highest quality and expression of the terroir.
On the nose, this Champagne reveals a complex bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, such as apples and pears, intertwined with delicate floral notes of white flowers. There is also a subtle hint of toasted brioche and a touch of minerality, adding depth and sophistication to the aroma profile.
The palate is equally impressive, with a fine and persistent mousse that caresses the tongue. The flavors are harmonious and well-balanced, with a perfect integration of fruitiness and acidity. The orchard fruits from the nose translate beautifully onto the palate, accompanied by a subtle citrus zest and a touch of honeyed sweetness. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lingering impression of freshness and finesse.
