Tasting notes
The predecessor to Substance, this bottle of Selosse's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Origine was disgorged in 1997 and based on the 1990 vintage. Wafting from the glass with rich and complex aromas of orange oil, white flowers, musky peach, apple blossom, spices and dried fruits, it's full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a textural attack, racy acids and a long, intensely saline finish. Selosse observes that some of the vins clairs were impacted by botrytis and high in glycerol and that, at this stage, he employed more sulfur dioxide in his winemaking.
