Jacques Selosse V.O. 'Version Originale' Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut, Champagne, France NV (LVO0116 Dis. 1/2016)

V.O. is drawn from parcels on the upper slopes of Avize and layered with reserve wines. The result is a deeply aromatic Champagne, opening with an intoxicating bouquet of red apple, crème brûlée, caramel, and dried stone fruit, alongside notes of bread dough, warm crust, and biscuit. On the palate, these aromas translate into a savory depth and texture, carrying through to a long, persistent finish that resonates well beyond the last sip.
