About The Wine
Anselme Selosse is one of the most revolutionary figures in the world of wine today.
The ultimate iconoclast, Anselme took the concepts and traditions that made the best wines of Burgundy and the Rhone Valley so iconic - that it takes great fruit to make transcendent wines, and expression of terroir is paramount - and brought those ideas to his family's vineyards in Champagne.
His cuveés are now hunted like the rarest of birds across the planet.
This is his most iconic cuveé and his purest expression of terroir. The Substance is a non-vintage blend of his Grand Cru holdings in Avize. By combining over twenty vintages in his solera, Anselme has managed to perfectly capture the voice of this place and everything it has yielded over the last two decades or more.

On The Producer
“No champagne grower is as renowned or as influential as Anselme Selosse. Whether directly or indirectly, he has inspired an entire generation of young winegrowers in the region, and among consumers, his champagnes have become some of the most sought-after wines in the world. As with many wines that seek to push their boundaries, Selosse’s champagnes are not without controversy—some believe them to be at the pinnacle of what can be achieved in the region, while others find them incomprehensible. Regardless, it’s undeniable that these are highly original champagnes, and wines of intense personality.”
- Peter Liem, ChampagneGuide.net
“The "madman of Avize"may turn out to be the "prophet of Avize" - by which I mean that it is hard to think of a single individual in Champagne whose work (though by no means uniformly admired) is more influential than that of Anselme Selosse. Fastidious viticulture (which happens to be biodynamic); ripeness levels previously thought unattainable in the region; radically non-interventionist methods; the use of a wide variety of containers and long ageing are some of the lodestars of méthode, Selosse. The veneer of eccentricity conceals a sharp and scholarly intelligence, and if the future of Champagne is truly going to one in which terroir plays more of a role then the region as a whole will have to pay more attention of Selosse and less to it's accountants and brand managers. "We need a hundred Selosses," as Daniel Lorson of the CIVC puts it.”

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
