Widely regarded as the most influential grower-producer in history, Anselme Selosse has redefined what wine can be. The \"Initial\" is the quintessential entry point into his transcendent world. Crafted from three successive vintages of Grand Cru Chardonnay from the legendary villages of Avize, Cramant, and Oger, this is not just a wine—it is an intellectual journey. For the collector who seeks the absolute pinnacle of artisanal winemaking, \"Initial\" is the ultimate prize.\n\n✨ Tasting Notes\n\nAppearance: A deep, shimmering straw gold, hinting at its rich oxidative complexity and meticulous solera-style aging.\n\nNose: An explosive and singular bouquet.

Anselme Selosse, the visionary behind the estate, was one of the first in Champagne to apply Burgundian winemaking techniques—low yields, organic viticulture, and barrel fermentation—to Chardonnay. His \"Initial\" cuvée represents the \"lower\" slopes of his Grand Cru vineyards, where the soil provides more generosity and ripeness. Each bottle is a testament to his philosophy of respecting the individual life of every vine. To drink Selosse is to experience the very soul of the Côte des Blancs.","brand":"VIVANT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407238193451,"sku":null,"price":5500.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0856\/0204\/2155\/files\/eed488c2-ae70-4b3a-8716-f5e1179ab6f3-copied-media_2.jpg?v=1778681935"},{"product_id":"jacques-selosse-rose-grand-cru-brut","title":"Jacques Selosse Rosé – Grand Cru Brut","description":"\u003cp\u003eJacques Selosse Rosé – Grand Cru Brut: The Enigma of Rosé Experience a Rosé that defies all conventions.

Sourced from the warmer, siltier soils of the lower Avize slopes, the fruit possesses a natural gourmand character. The RP04 (2004 base) designation is highly significant; 2004 was a year of abundance and classical balance in Champagne, allowing Selosse to craft a Sec that remains as fresh and chiseled today as it was a decade ago. It is a testament to the longevity of the Selosse method.","brand":"VIVANT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407423791403,"sku":null,"price":13000.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0856\/0204\/2155\/files\/e7e5c557-a43d-488b-82fd-8d61cf21d831-copied-media_2.jpg?v=1778685776"},{"product_id":"jacques-selosse-substance-grand-cru-blanc-de-blancs-extra-brut","title":"Jacques Selosse \"Substance\" – Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut","description":"Jacques Selosse \"Substance\" – Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut represents the pinnacle of Champagne craftsmanship. This extraordinary wine is born from a perpetual Solera reserve initiated in 1986, blending every vintage since the mid-80s in two massive 4,000-liter foudres. By transcending the variability of annual weather, Selosse isolates the pure expression of Avize chalk—the terroir's eternal signature.\n\nThe wine presents a deep amber-gold hue with a measured, crystalline bead.

The palate is transformative: an oily, expansive texture balanced by supernatural mineral grip. Umami, preserved lemon, and incense emerge, concluding with a saline finish that lingers for minutes—less champagne, more legendary white Burgundy with bubbles.\n\nThis is a wine for the rarest occasions.
