Jacques Selosse’s Extra-Brut Millésime 2013 is a vintage Champagne from Champagne, France, built as a house snapshot rather than a single-site statement. Jeb Dunnuck reports it is “a blend from across all the parcels,” while Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate adds that it is “produced from the estate’s wines selected in a blind tasting.” Guillaume Selosse characterizes it plainly as “the melting pot of our terroirs,” an approach that aims for structure and rigor.

Critics agree the 2013 leans into tension and mineral cut, but with Selosse’s typical depth. Dunnuck (98 points—an excellent review) describes “ripe aromas of lemon oils, fresh flowers, white peach, and honeycomb,” and says it is “full-bodied” with “a rounded mousse,” a “ripe feel,” and “lovely underlying tension,” finishing with a lingering “more mineral texture.” He expects it to “only improve over the coming 15–20 years.”

Antonio Galloni for Vinous also awards an excellent 98 points, calling it “a superb vintage wine… mostly Chardonnay but with a touch of Pinot.” He highlights “tangerine oil, mint, dried flowers, slate and chalk,” delivering “tons of energy and mineral-drenched drive throughout.” Galloni notes “a bit more new oak (30%) than in some recent vintages,” but concludes “it all works so well.” He also reports a low dosage of 2 g/L and notes Selosse “did not bottle a Millésime in 2014,” spreading the 2013 release across two calendar years.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate rates it 96 points, finding it “slightly more reserved than the 2012 rendition” and pointing to the cool season, with harvest “beginning on October 2.” Disgorged in March 2024 with a 2.2 g/L dosage, it shows “rooibos, benzoin, dried apricot and verbena oil… nutmeg and orange peel,” with “bright, mouthwatering acidity” and a “long, chalky finish.”
