Anselme Selosse’s wines are among the most coveted bottles in Champagne.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an original 6-bottle case and three individual original single-magnum cases of Jacques Selosse 2005 vintage champagne. Anselme Selosse really bucked the trend in 2005 and crafted, as one has come to expect, a wine of exceptional quality and unique character.
As Antonio Galloni writes: There is not much else left to say, except for that the wines remain reference points for readers who want to understand the spirit of artisan Champagne at its very best.

A wine of cool sophistication and finesse, the 2005 Millesime is simply superb today and more expressive than it was when I last tasted it, about a year ago. An exotic mélange of citrus, lemon confit and floral notes infuses the 2005, a rich, deep Champagne loaded with class and personality. Even with all of its intensity, the 2005 remains light on its feet and gracious to the core. The Millesime is a blend of fruit from the Chantereines Les Maladries du Midi lieu-dits, both in Avize. Disgorged November 2015. Dosage is 1.3 grams per liter. Drinking now to 2030.
