{"product_id":"jacques-selosse-champagne-brut-blanc-de-blancs-initial-nv","title":"Jacques Selosse, Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs Initial, NV","description":"The estate that changed how growers think about Champagne. Anselme Selosse took over his family's small holding in Avize in 1980 after training in Burgundy, and then did in Champagne what nobody there was doing: cut yields hard, dropped chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, fermented with wild yeasts in old Burgundian barrels, kept sulfur low, and let the wines see oxygen instead of protecting them from it. A perpetual solera, the basis of the cuvee Substance, showed what a reserve could do for depth without relying on a single harvest. His son Guillaume took over in 2018. Initial is the house's Blanc de Blancs and its point of entry: Chardonnay from Grand Cru sites in Avize, Cramant and Oger, blended from three consecutive vintages, aged long on lees and finished with barely any dosage. Production is small and allocation is famously tight. Serve it cool, not cold, in a white-wine glass, and give it time in the glass.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51021214351417,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-SRSN10261026-103026-27-7","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Jacques-Selosse-Champagne-Brut-Blanc-de-Blancs-Initial-NV-Sparkling-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1793437420","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/jacques-selosse-champagne-brut-blanc-de-blancs-initial-nv","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
