Selosse Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Sous le Mont Premier Cru NV

98 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The base wine on this beauty is the superb 2002 vintage, and the wine is absolutely brilliant. It was disgorged sometime in 2008. The deep, pure and utterly classic nose soars from the glass in a smoky blaze of white peach, gentle tangerine, warm biscuits, chalky minerality, discreet white flowers and the aforementioned smokiness in abundance. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and still strikingly young, with a great core, elegant mousse, and outstanding cut and grip on the very, very long, mineral bath of a finish. There is a vibrancy to the expression of terroir here that is otherworldly! This wine is certainly approachable today (I sincerely doubt I spit it on this morning), but it is still relatively primary in profile and five or six more years in the cellar are really going to work their magic on this utterly profound young wine. 2020-2060. (Jul/Aug 2019)"

97 points Sarah Mayo (The Wine Independent): "Produced from two single, east facing plots in Mareuil sur Aÿ that are only 1.5 kilometers from each other, this Sous le Mont Premier Cru is a zero dosage Blanc de Noir cuvée based on the 2016 vintage with reserve wines from 2005-2015. Bright and fresh with lively aromas citrus, ripe pomegranate, crushed oyster shell, lemon zest and a whiff of chalk dust, the medium-bodied palate is bone dry and wound tightly around a core of citrus and red fruit intensity with shimmering acid tension and a bright minerality radiating throughout. Refreshing and refined, it finishes with a little white grapefruit bitterness and a grip of chalk. Alcohol 12.5%. Drink: 2023-2038. (12/7/23)"

95 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Offering up aromas of mint, apricot, smoked peach, white flowers and honeycomb, the NV Extra-Brut Grand Cru Sous le Mont, based on the 2016 vintage, is one of the most exotic wines in the range. Full-bodied, fleshy and ample, it's charming and gourmand, with a generous core of fruit and a long, saline finish. Drink: 2023-2035. (12/14/23)"
