About This Champagne
Guillaume Selosse makes this Chardonnay Champagne from a lieu-dit in Cramant called Au-dessus du Gros Mont, literally 'above the Gros Mont'. It is a very small bottling; this is the 2019.
The Gros Mont slopes run east of Cramant village towards Oiry.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: White peach, lemon zest and fresh almond, with acacia, oyster shell and a gentle oxidative hint.
- Palate: Tight, chalky and focused, with green apple, citrus pith and a fine, lively bead.
- Finish: Saline and persistent, with a subtle hazelnut and anise note at the very end.
Serving & Food
Serve cool rather than icy, about 10 to 12°C, in a wide tulip. Good with sashimi of kinmedai, steamed razor clams in garlic or a hard sheep's cheese.
Good to Know
Where is it from? High ground above Le Gros Mont, east of Cramant.
Should I decant it? Open it an hour ahead, or decant gently.
