Jacques Selosse Ratafia NV AOC 0.75l

Jacques Selosse Ratafia NV AOC 0.75l is an elixir born from the desire to reinterpret the traditional dessert wine with a touch of terroir that characterizes the Jacques Selosse house, a company that has defined an unconventional way of making wine, balancing innovation and respect for the raw material. This product embodies a philosophy of family independence and ongoing research: meticulous vineyard management, practices that prioritize aromatic maturation, and a non-invasive approach to the transformation process. These elements have shaped the winery's identity in the Champagne region and are translated here into a unique Ratafia, designed to accompany tastings within a range that prioritizes consistency and style. The production approach is distinguished by a sensory interpretation that prioritizes organoleptic complexity without compromising on easy sweetness: the selected must and components age in containers that interact with time, offering a rich aromatic texture with hints of dried fruit and citrus zest, complemented by honeyed notes, subtle spices, and a vibrant structural coherence that supports the sweetness without weighing it down. The nose reveals a synesthesia of aromas evoking ripe fruit, candied fruit, and a subtle hint of toasted wood, while on the palate, the sweetness is controlled by a well-balanced acidity. The texture is enveloping yet feline, with a light minerality that permeates the palate. The finish is long, leaving a trail of bitter almond and fine spices that invites another sip. This product is strategically positioned within the range as the embodiment of a meditative interpretation of tradition, offering a different gateway for those who wish to explore the house's production without sacrificing the elegance typical of the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée and the geographical identity of Champagne. The AOC designation and the NV interpretation enrich the offering with a temporal perspective, offering the taster a glimpse of an evolving terroir, suitable for both connoisseurs and curious novices. In keeping with the STELT positioning, this interpretation expresses precision, respect for the terroir, and authoritative quality management that elevates the experience to a sensory level, offering an authentic menu for those seeking profound and distinctive insights into the world of wine.
