This Initial cuvée tends to be expressive already upon release, so it was intriguing to taste this example disgorged in 2017 (seven years prior to tasting). This Chardonnay from Avize, Cramant and Oger, based on the 2011 vintage, is fully fermented in barrel, as with all Selosse wines. It's sitting on a plateau of maturity now, open and almost meaty in savoury complexity with chewy grilled grapefruit, dried pears, bitter orange and dried flower complexity. A long, intense palate, although this bottle may have shown a little more verve two to three years ago.
