Selosse Extra Brut Champagne Millésime 2009

97 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Disgorged in January 2020, the 2009 Extra-Brut Premier Cru Millésime represents a new direction for Selosse's vintage bottling, as Guillaume Selosse wanted to produce this cuvée from all of the six villages in which the domaine's holdings are located. The resulting wine is spectacular, soaring from the glass with a deep and complex bouquet of mandarin orange, honeycomb, ripe peaches, freshly baked bread, almond paste and dried apricots. Full-bodied, deep and complete, it's elegantly muscular and multidimensional, with extraordinary mid-palate amplitude, ripe but lively acids and a long, intensely sapid finish. Drink: 2020-2033. (Jul 2020)"

97 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Still shocked by its disgorgement in January 2020, the 2009 requires a year in the cellar to let its material evolve with incredible energetic comfort. Released before the 2008, still closed, this 2009 should age admirably in a vinous register. (2021)"

95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2009 Extra-Brut Millesime Grand Cru is a huge, exotic wine. Candied apricot, spice, tropical fruit and toasted notes all build in the glass. In 2009, the vintage wine is just that - wine. This is an especially honeyed, vinous Champagne, even by Selosse's standards. I would cellar it for a few years to see if some of the baby fat melts away Today it is decidedly opulent. Disgorged: January 29, 2020. Drink: 2022-2034. (Nov 2020)"
