Jacques Selosse Extra-Brut Millésime 2010 is a vintage Champagne from one of the defining grower estates of the Côte des Blancs, based in Avize. Selosse farms about 7.5 hectares biodynamically across Grand Cru and Premier Cru villages including Avize, Cramant, Oger, and Aÿ, working without herbicides or synthetic fertilizers. While many technical specifics for this bottling (cépage, dosage, and aging details) aren’t confirmed in the available material, one retailer lists the wine at 13% alcohol.

The headline review is outstanding. William Kelley (Wine Advocate) awards 96 points, calling the 2010 “full-bodied, satiny and pillowy,” with an “open, expressive profile.” Kelley’s note is precise about the style: this is Selosse with breadth and early accessibility rather than a tightly wound, severe vintage expression. Aromatically, he cites “botrytis-inflected aromas of tangerine, crisp yellow orchard fruit, citrus blossom, clear honey and toasted nuts,” a set of descriptors that points to ripe fruit, oxidative nuance, and a warm, nutty register that many Selosse fans look for.

Vinous also rates the wine strongly at 94 points, similarly emphasizing approachability: “demonstrative and charming,” with an “open, expressive profile” that gives it “real immediacy.” Those are excellent scores in a category where even very good vintage Champagne can land lower, and they reinforce the idea that the 2010 is built to deliver pleasure now.

One practical expectation-setting note appears in Kelley’s assessment: the 2010 “likely won’t be the most long-lived vintage of this bottling,” though he adds it should offer “enormous pleasure over the next decade.” In other words, this is a Selosse Millésime to drink for its layered fruit, honeyed complexity, and expansive texture—ideally sooner rather than as a long-term cellar trophy.
