Jacques Selosse Cuvée Exquise NV

This wine is an 'encounter'. An encounter always brings excitement and dynamism. People cannot change or find new paths without meeting others. However, when that encounter is with someone of the opposite sex, one might harbor unfulfilled desires, content with merely gazing from afar. A moment of thrill, a profile that embodies strength, gentleness, intensity, tranquility, a sharp self-respect, and graceful femininity—I understand it. You crave kindness. Yet, the kindness you seek is beyond my reach at present. Ah, beautiful person. Your smile, which intoxicates those who behold it, is sweet and bittersweet. Though modest, you stand tall with dignity, looking straight into the eyes, possessing within you a beast-like eros and a saintly purity. You are always moving forward, never pausing, aiming for something. The reason I cannot grasp what that is, is because I am still immature, and it is not your fault. For you live amidst the sun, the earth, and the wind. With golden hair fluttering in the breeze, you are brimming with confidence, looking back at me. 'Follow me, if you can.' This wine is a woman and a tree. A solitary tree standing in a vast meadow, always swaying in the wind. The leaves, rustling and swaying in the breeze, shimmer under the pouring sun. This tree silently embraces all of me. Ah, the moments of youth, the wine that captivated me. You were there if I reached out my hand, yet you were the 'Madonna' in a portrait that could never be reached.
