N.V. Jacques Selosse Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Substance - France, Champagne, Avize, Champagne (12/23/2009)
Let the holiday hedonism begin:

Deep golden yellow with superfine mousse. Honey, with some spicy notes and sherried notes on the nose. Very rich, golden fruit, chalky minerals, and a slight citrusy component. YUM! I really really liked this wine. 11/20/2007 disgorgement.

Had the 07/2008 disgorgement last week and indeed, the wine is of the same breed as what you describe. I’m always impressed at the perfect balance of this wine, though I should not be surprised about it, knowing it’s made using the solera method.

A fantastic wine, me thinks.

This wine does not suck. I had a bottle earlier in the year and thought it amazing.

Must have been the company you were with…

Let’s see…I think it was the anit-recession dinner.
