What the critics say
95 VMVinous, Antonio Galloni, 01-05-2026
The NV (2019) Extra-Brut Initial is classy, elegant and polished. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers and chalk all grace the palate. More than anything else, I am so impressed with the quality and texture of the mousse. This is a gorgeous Initial, one of the finest in recent memory. Dosage is 2.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 24, 2025.

The new, flamboyant rendition of Selosse’s NV Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Initial is based on the 2019 vintage, incorporating reserve wines from 2018 and 2017, and was disgorged in April 2025 with a dosage of 2.7 grams per liter. Readers will by now be aware that it originates predominantly from the lower-lying south-facing sites (with a minority oriented eastward), where the topsoil is richer in clay and the chalk bedrock more fragmented than in the higher-altitude parcels that produce Version Originale. Leaping from the glass with aromas of orange peel, peach, dried apricot and toasted bread mingled with beeswax, it is a full-bodied, rich and concentrated wine built around a muscular core and underpinned by ripe yet vibrant acidity, culminating in a long, saline finish. This cuvée is drawn from Avize and Cramant, with a small proportion from Oger, and is typically disgorged several times a year.
