Jacques Selosse NV Initial

James Suckling on the 2014 disgorgement of Initial
This cuvée is based on the 2007, 2006 and 2005 vintages and has immensely complex aromas with a strong core of chalky minerals, honey, peach and almond milk - the sweet and savory mix is really engaging. The palate is soft and supple with a long, creamy drive that twists dry and finishes pure with lemon pith and gentle toffee. Complete, polished and silky, this is a handsome interpretation of clay-driven richness, delivered with balance and flair. 94 points, James Suckling
