Jacques Selosse "Initial" Avize Brut, Champagne, France NV

FROM RARE WINE CO.:

THE WINE: 100% Chardonnay. Anselme’s “classic” Avize Brut, with long aging in bottle, both before and after disgorgement. An assemblage of three vintages, Initial is typically released an average of five years after the most recent harvest in the blend.

THE PRODUCER: Anselme Selosse is arguably the most influential Champagne winemaker of the post-World War II generation. Selosse studied in Burgundy, and brought a vineyard-centric focus to Champagne during an age of big houses and little attention to viticulture. Selosse’s further experimentation with wood aging, gentle oxidation, and low dosage created a new style of Champagne, and helped to launch the modern grower Champagne movement.
