This specific bottling is part of a highly limited series of six single-vineyard Champagnes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue to the Selosse style, this wine is crafted using a \"perennial reserve\" (Solera) system, blending multiple vintages to create extraordinary depth. It is fermented in oak barrels and aged with minimal intervention, resulting in a Champagne that is far more oxidative and \"vinous\" than traditional styles. It is a powerful, intellectually demanding wine that balances the intense, searing acidity of Le Mesnil with the nutty, expansive complexity of the Selosse winemaking method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Highlights\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2016\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRegion\/Appellation:\u003c\/b\u003e Champagne Grand Cru (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger), France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacques Selosse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGrape:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% Chardonnay (Blanc de Blancs)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Powerful, oxidative, and profoundly mineral-driven Grower Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTasting Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Heady aromas of dried citrus peel, toasted brioche, and roasted nuts, layered with exotic notes of ginger, honey, and a distinct flinty, saline minerality.
