If you are offered a bottle of Substance blanc de blanc , beware

Normally selling at 112 euros a bottle, this champagne from the Jacques Selasse cellar at Reims may not be what it seems. A break in by thieves who took 16,000 labels along with 300, 000 euros worth of champagne will cause difficulties for this vineyard  but will not endanger their business. Their fears are the spawning of fake bottles which obviously could affect their reputation. The bottles were stacked on pallets ready to be shipped around the world (smacks of an inside job) The family vineyard started to produce champagne in 1949 and currently produce 57,000 bottles a year.
