Natalie's Score: 93/100

From Sélèque R. & JM , Jm Sélèque Solessence is a bone-dry, medium-bodied Champagne produced from 60% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Meunier and 10% Pinot Noir with 50% reserve wine. A dosage of 7 g/l balanced the wine. Look for Meyer lemon and meringue flavours along with white florals, fuzzy peach, nougat, brioche and minerally notes on a pillowy mousse and laser-like acidity on the palate. Grapes for the cuvée were sourced from vineyards farmed organically and biodynamically, and the wine was fermented in a combination of steel vats, oak barrels, casks and ceramic egg with a minimum of 18 months on its lees.

Extra Brut Champagne food pairings: fried chicken and chips, lobster bisque, oysters on the half shell.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
