Jacques Selosse, V.O. 750ml - DG2016

WA95+

This year's disgorgement of Selosse's NV Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru V. O. (Version Originale) is excellent, offering up aromas of citrus oil, candied peel, golden orchard fruit, buttered toast, beeswax and English walnuts. Full-bodied, vinous and concentrated, it's seamless and fleshy, with a racy spine of acidity and a more chiseled, tensile, penetrating profile than the more forward Initial. It will only get better as it unwinds with additional time on cork, even if it's already delicious out of the gates.
