---

ABV: 12.5%

Bottle Size: 750ml

Blend: Chardonnay 

Region: Avize, Cramant and Oger Grand Cru, Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France

Viticulture: Soil-focused farming with very low yields. Hand-harvested Chardonnay from predominantly lower-slope parcels in Avize, Cramant and Oger. Chalky marl soils with a stronger clay component than the domaine’s higher hillside sites. 

Winemaking: Fermented with indigenous yeasts in 228-, 400- and 600-litre oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation is neither encouraged nor blocked. Aged for one year in oak, with around 16% new barrels entering the cellar rotation annually. Reserve wines spend one year in foudre before transfer to stainless steel. Matured for more than three years on the lees in bottle and disgorged as Brut, generally with 2–5g/l dosage depending on the release.

Champagne Jacques Selosse is one of the estates that changed the language of grower Champagne. Based in Avize, in the Côte des Blancs, it was transformed by Anselme Selosse from a family domaine into one of the region’s most influential names, with a Burgundian way of thinking about vineyard, maturity and place.

Selosse can be rich, savoury and intensely textured, yet the best bottles keep a strong mineral drive beneath the depth. It remains one of Champagne’s cult domaines: original, sometimes challenging, but enormously important for the way it helped move the region toward terroir consciousness.
