Selosse is an interesting Champagne producer that stopped exporting wines to the US about 4-5 years ago.  I first tried one in 2003.  This bottle was definitely gray market with the green French sticker and the back label in French.  I believe this champagne is low-dosage.  Now available in the US but rare - the lowest price from WS is $120.Â

This did not impress me with the first glass.  It seemed like it needed time to unwind after opening.  By the end of the bottle I was impressed and trying to make more appear.   Very tasty.

    Disgorged 10/2006. A powerful nose with honey notes leading into a palate of marzipan and golden apple flavors. This had a very creamy mouthfeel. Slight mousse with small bubbles that dissipated fairly quickly. Very different and rather good. An intellectual champagne if there is such a thing. It continued to change in the glass - the best drink was the last one at a slightly warmer temperature. (93 pts.)
