Out of Selosse's lineup, Initial is the Selosse bottling that I reach for most often. Its energy and punchy minerality are endlessly appealing.

Initial highlights the magic of Selosse - it's a Blanc de Blancs of seemingly implausible harmony, combining outrageous purity with enveloping power.

Initial has electric currents of citrus and minerality, while simultaneously possessing a profound textural complexity. The wine is so intense and multifaceted that it offers endless fascination.

There's no doubt that Selosse is an icon. I can't think of another Champagne that delivers as much personality in such a seamless and finessed way. His are some of the most captivating wines around. It's always a pleasure to offer them.
