From a steep south-facing vineyard and a ‘reserve perpetual’ spanning 2010-2003 inclusive. Has some almost greener herbal elements with lime essence and pepper-dusted grapefruit. It has a powerful and enriched texture on the palate with some gently bitter caramelised peach fruits and some smoky and woody notes. Long mineral finish, drink now. - Nick Stock

Based on the 2016 vintage and disgorged early this year, Selosse's new NV Extra-Brut Grand Cru Les Carelles delivers aromas of saffron, honeyed peaches, fenugreek, white flowers and pastry. Medium to full-bodied, rich and seamless, it's satiny and elegant, with an enveloping core of fruit and an attractively chalky finish. It's more extroverted than its 2015 predecessor. - William Kelley
