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.
Historically this cuvée was known as "Blanc de Blancs" since the beginning of the 20th century. “Longitude” comes exclusively from Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs: Vertus, Oger, Avize, Cramant. Non-vintage, this cuvée contains 40% of wines from the estate's perpetual reserve, which began in 2004.
Cuvée 748 from Maison Jacquesson is made from the 2020 harvest of the Ay, Dizy Hautvillers and Champillon terroirs (55%) and the Avize and Oiry terroirs (45%). A few reserve wines from the Domaine complete the blend.
This cuvée comes only from the village of Villers Allerand, precisely from the hamlet of the village of Montchenot which has the particularity of being the junction village between the small mountain and the big mountain, and shares the geology of the two regions (sand, clay and chalk).
The Cuvée GRANDE VALLEE replaces the emblematic Cuvée Réserve. Its name comes from the terroirs of Mareuil, Mutigny, Avenay, Épernay and Festigny from which it is elaborated and wonderfully illustrating this geological inlay of chalk and clay which marks the Marne Valley.
