CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Substance is a powerful, dense Champagne with slightly angular contours that need time to soften. Lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers, chamomile and light reductive notes fill out the layers. I would prefer to give this release a few more years in bottle, as there is a bit of burliness that hopefully will soften with time. Disgorged: July 31, 2019.

From the solera of reserve wines started in 1986. All Avize. Just 3,000 bottles made each year. Disgorged 16 December 2015. A very special bottle of champagne served at the end of a meal that worked, even with cheese. Wonderfully complex and indeed, Selossian, more like an enlivened super-rich white Burgundy than a fully fizzing champagne. Layered with almond notes. Acidity sufficient but more of a distant memory. Hugely satisfying.
