Champagne Jacques Selosse Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Substance NV Solera 1986-2016, Disg. May 2022

Champagne Jacques Selosse Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Substance is drawn from a solera-style perpetual blend begun in 1986.

Substance is the cuvée that best explains what Anselme Selosse is after. The juice comes from two sites in Avize, a Grand Cru village of the Côte des Blancs: Le Mont de Cramant, facing south, and Les Chantereines, facing east. Rather than bottling a single harvest, the wine is drawn from a perpetual blend started in 1986, so every release carries a trace of nearly four decades of vintages. Each bottling spends between five and six years on lees and is finished with a dosage of between zero and two grams per litre. Where the Millésime sets out to capture one season, Substance is designed to remove the vintage from the equation altogether, leaving an expression of place through time. It is consistently the fullest, deepest and most developed Champagne in the range.

Ready on release and long-lived. Serve at 8°C with roast chicken, aged Comté or richly sauced fish.
