Jacques Selosse, Substance Blanc de Blancs other_regions Mineral reduction and lime hints

Mineral reduction and lime hints add breadth to the lilac

to discover that the sugars were that high

serious and robust finish that also reflects a touch of acid tang that will likely age out as the tannins begin to resolve

layered and textured

with aromas ranging from camphor

Jacques Selosse, Substance Blanc de Blancs other_regions Mineral reduction and lime hintsThe NV (2017) Extra Brut Substance is a stunner. Rich and exotic, but not at all heavy, Substance dazzles in this release. Candied orange peel, chamomile, marzipan, dried flowers and a hint of spice all take shape in the glass. This release is quite approachable today, but time and experience have taught me that Substance really blossoms with a few years in bottle. This is a very sexy Champagne. Disgorged, January 9, 2025.
