Selosse’s lieu-dit, or single parcel, range stems from belief that site is the most important determinant of wine quality. Since the mid-2000’s, Anselme Selosse began testing that theory by releasing 6 lieux-dits. These non-vintage wines are created using the perpetual reserve method whereby wine from the most recent vintage has cask-aged wines from all previous wines blended in. A portion of this new blend is bottled and the remnants returns to cask for future use. Sous Le Mont is 100% Pinot Noir from Mareuil sur Aÿ and is invitingly soft and elegant.

The NV (2018) Extra-Brut Mareuil-sur-Aÿ Sous Le Mont is one of the best editions of this wine I have tasted in some time. Rose petal, white pepper, orange peel and and a touch of dried Alpine herbs bring out the aromatic side of Pinot. The Sous Le Mont is often marked by a slightly bitter note. Here, all the elements are so well balanced. This is pure sophistication. Disgorged: February 27, 2025. Antonio Galloni8th April 2025
97 The Wine Independent
Produced from two single, east facing plots in Mareuil sur Aÿ that are only 1.5 kilometers from each other, this Sous le Mont Premier Cru is a zero dosage Blanc de Noir cuvée based on the 2016 vintage with reserve wines from 2005-2015. Bright and fresh with lively aromas citrus, ripe pomegranate, crushed oyster shell, lemon zest and a whiff of chalk dust, the medium-bodied palate is bone dry and wound tightly around a core of citrus and red fruit intensity with shimmering acid tension and a bright minerality radiating throughout. Refreshing and refined, it finishes with a little white grapefruit bitterness and a grip of chalk.Sarah Mayo7th December 2023
