Substance
Great art!
Scores: 98 Parker and 19 RVF
Substance is a Blanc de Blancs champagne made from a solera started in 1986. The solera is a perpetual reserve of wine, each year the wines used for the elaboration of the Substance cuvée are replaced by wines from the last harvest. It is therefore a marriage of more than 20 different years!
The Jacques Selosse Substance is infinitely complex, with a discreet effervescence, and will develop all its qualities if decanted a quarter of an hour before tasting.
Substance is a wine with intense aromas of fruit, flowers and spices. The nose gives off powerful notes of pastry, spices, candied citrus and yellow fruit. Delicate notes of oxidation can be detected due to the solera, a good rancio characteristic of the Jacques Selosse style. After aeration, more greedy touches appear. The palate is very spicy, with a dominant of dried fruits and flowers. The structure is extremely silky, fat, with a substance that coats the mouth, carried by a very marked mineral structure. This is a champagne that should be served at the table, with poultry par excellence and particularly with poularde en demi-deuil.
