All the 2019 disgorgements of Selosse's emblematic Blanc de Blancs cuvées are brilliant, and revisiting the November 2019 disgorgement of the NV Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru VO (Version Originale), I clearly underrated this wine on release. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dried fruits, citrus oil, toasted nuts, drawn butter, yellow orchard fruit, clear honey and fenugreek, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and vinous, with terrific concentration allied with excellent tension. In fact, if this disgorgement stands out, it's notable for its especially cut and precision. Concluding with a long, sapid finish, it's a bottle that doesn't survive very long after opening in our household.

WARNING: CHAMPAGNE FOR ADULTS!
