Vinous - Score: 96 (2010 September)

Jacques Selosse's 1996 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs (disgorged December 1, 2005) is another wine that is positively singing today. In this context it is one of the warmer, richer Champagnes and stands out for its massive concentration. Roasted nuts, honey, flowers and spices add complexity on the finish. Compared to the wines from the large houses, this really makes a statement its bold, powerful personality.
