Maison Jacques Selosse – The Avant-Garde of Terroir-Driven Champagne
A true Champagne icon, Maison Jacques Selosse stands at the pinnacle of excellence and audacity, redefining terroir-driven winemaking. Founded in 1959 in Avize, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, the house underwent a radical transformation under Anselme Selosse, a pioneer of biodynamic farming and parcel-based vinification in Champagne. Today, his son Guillaume Selosse continues this legacy with the same dedication.
The estate spans 8 hectares, primarily in Grand Cru villages (Avize, Cramant, Oger), with a strong focus on Chardonnay, aiming to reveal the purest expression of terroir. In contrast to conventional Champagne methods, Jacques Selosse embraces techniques inspired by Burgundy: organic viticulture, fermentation in oak barrels, and extended aging on lees, resulting in wines of unparalleled depth and complexity.
Selosse champagnes are intensely expressive, boasting rich textures and a striking aromatic palette where minerality, ripe fruit, oxidative notes, and freshness harmonize. Iconic cuvées include Initial, an introduction to the Selosse universe, Substance, crafted through a solera system for extraordinary depth, and rare single-parcel expressions that pay tribute to exceptional terroirs.
Sought after by connoisseurs worldwide, Jacques Selosse is more than just Champagne—it’s an extraordinary sensory journey, an unmistakable signature that pushes the boundaries of the appellation and redefines the art of sparkling wine.
Deutz Millésimé 2016 is a cuvée representing the precision, elegance and complexity of Deutz wines. The robe is luminous with golden reflections and the effervescence of great finesse. On the palate, the blend reveals gourmet fruity aromas with notes of spices and light tobacco.
Rare Vintage 2013 expresses the signature of the house, combining a tropical touch and minerality, in two stages. Under an initially reserved appearance, gourmet, pastry and spicy notes develop in a saline, noble and ample tension. The cuvée is made with 70% chardonnay and 30% pinot noir from 11 crus, including 7 classified Grand Crus and 3 classified Premier Crus.
Gosset 12 ans de cave a minima Rosé is a cuvée which has benefited from 12 years of aging on the lees. The maturity that the wine has acquired in the cellar has allowed it to pass the years while keeping its freshness. The blend is a selection of the best Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs and Pinots Noirs from Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne.
Moussé La Confiance de mon Père 2019 is a Rosé de saignée made from the oldest plot of Domaine Moussé called "Les Bouts de la Ville" on the terroir of Cuisles.
Palmer Collection Vintage 1985 is a very rare vintage, memory of a harvest wiped out by the terrible frosts of winter 1984 and spring 1985 but which will give at the end of a beautiful sunny summer a superb vintage with remarkable balance.
Cuvée Rubis is a Champagne in homage to greediness with a blend of 90% Pinot Noir (including 15% red wine) and 10% Chardonnay from Premier Cru vines in the village of Rilly-la-Montagne. The wines spend 10 months aging in oak barrels to bring power and complexity.
