Champagne Jacques Selosse Ambonnay Grand Cru Le Bout du Clos NV Base 16, Disg. Feb 2022

Champagne Jacques Selosse Ambonnay Grand Cru Le Bout du Clos is a single-vineyard blanc de noirs from the Montagne de Reims.

Ambonnay is one of the Grand Cru villages of the Montagne de Reims and is Pinot Noir country, giving Champagnes with more flesh and red-fruited weight than the Chardonnay villages of the Côte des Blancs. Le Bout du Clos is one of the lieux-dits Anselme Selosse bottles separately, part of the collection he built to show what individual parcels do when they are not blended away. The farming and winemaking follow the same pattern as the rest of the range: very low yields, fermentation and ageing in barrel, extended time on lees and a dosage kept close to nothing, so the site rather than the cellar sets the character. Production from a single Ambonnay parcel is small and allocations are tight.

Approachable now and capable of a decade or more. Serve at 8°C with roast quail, pork belly or a washed-rind cheese.
