Anselme Selosse is the Champagne maker who changed how the region thinks about wine, treating his small plots like a Burgundy grower rather than blending everything together. This bottle comes from a single named vineyard in the Ay village, one of six solo-vineyard wines he makes — rare, sought-after, and priced accordingly.
