when I can find new vintages in retail

Along with the toasty vanillin characteristics

Mineral reduction and lime hints add breadth to the lilac

Not much nose but lots of mass

to arrive at its peak

Jacques Selosse, Substance Blanc de Blancs other_regions when I can find newThe NV (2017) Extra Brut Substance is a stunner. Rich and exotic, but not at all heavy, Substance dazzles in this release. Candied orange peel, chamomile, marzipan, dried flowers and a hint of spice all take shape in the glass. This release is quite approachable today, but time and experience have taught me that Substance really blossoms with a few years in bottle. This is a very sexy Champagne. Disgorged, January 9, 2025.
