Bursting with aromas of orange oil, confit citrus, yellow apple, toasted nuts and dried fruits, it's full-bodied, layered and hugely concentrated, despite the pre-harvest rain that fell in the Côte de Blancs, with striking structure and intensity. This is often my favorite of Selosse's lieux-dits . . ."
