Jacques Selosse Extra Brut NV

Jacques Selosse's Extra Brut is something really special in the world of Champagne. It's a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, capturing the essence of the Champagne region. Selosse is known for his pioneering biodynamic practices, cherishing a winemaking process that's in harmony with nature.

In "The Drops of God" Volume 15, this Extra Brut is the choice for a lunch shared by Shizuku and Sarah. They described it as creating a transparent universe with its liqueur-like aroma and the blend of fruits and herbs. The mineral aspect is pronounced, offering new discoveries with each sip.

When you pour it, you'll see this beautiful pale golden color with bubbles that are so fine and keep rising. Bring the glass to your nose, and you'll get hit with a rich, liqueur-like aroma, followed by the freshness of pear and lemon, with just a hint of herbs. On the palate, there's this sharp mineral acidity that pops in your mouth, while the fruit sweetness gently spreads out.

The finish is long, leaving this transparent aftertaste that lingers beautifully. It's best enjoyed chilled, in a larger glass to truly appreciate its nuances.
