A blanc de blancs that recalls the Avize Chardonnay wines made in oak, while the long secondary fermentation on the lees gives it a fine and creamy effervescence. The aromatic profile has scents of slightly grilled almonds, orange blossom and tangerine and apricot peel and a spicy finish thanks to aging in barriques. The mouthfeel is expressive and saline with notes of yellow plum, thyme and marjoram and candied citrus with a pastry richness balanced by freshness and an overall sensation of lightness. The progression is relaxed and the finish is pleasingly long.
While this is an interesting Champagne the price is a bit high, then again this is also in the full Selossian spirit (as is the label).
