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.
Cristal Rosé Vinothèque 2000 celebrates the astonishing adventure of a few bottles kept for 20 years in the Louis Roederer cellars, in search of the perfect balance. The cuvée was aged for 11 years on slats, then 5 years on points and a rest of 4 years after disgorging.
Palmer Collection Vintage 1980 was marked by a harvest with a historically low yield but which gave rise to grapes of exceptional concentration.
Franck Bonville Rosé Grand Cru is a Cuvée that perfectly combines the chalky tension of Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs with the fine and fruity notes of Pinot Noir from Ambonnay.
The year 2015 was declared a Veuve Clicquot vintage and became the 67th of the House since the creation of the first vintage, by Madame Clicquot in 1810. This wine reveals the flavors of an exceptional year. Eternal signature of the Vintage cuvée, the structure is angular and fleshy, the pinot noir playing its role of building. Thus, all in balance, Veuve Clicquot Vintage...
The Vintage according to Maison Jacques Selosse: a year of harvest with unique qualities in the time scale. This Blanc de Blancs Champagne (100% Chardonnay) has been produced from 2 plots of Avize Grand Cru, which have always been the same since 1975.
Savart L’Ouverture is the first wine in the Savart range, made only with Pinot Noir. Partly vinified in wood to gain in complexity and roundness, this is a great aperitif Champagne.
Sous le Mont is part of the Lieux-dits collection of Maison Jacques Selosse. It is a Champagne made from Pinot Noir from the Village of Mareuil sur Ay, classified Grand Cru.
Grand Cellier is a daring Champagne, all in elegance with a blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir 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.
Egly-Ouriet Brut Grand Cru is considered as one of the best non-vintage Champagne. A blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay from Ambonnay and Bouzy magnified by long aging, this Cuvée reveals roundness, delicacy and vinosity.
Bruno Paillard Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is made from Chardonnay Première presse, coming exclusively from grands crus from the heart of the famous “Côte des Blancs”. A large proportion of reserve wines (25 vintages since 1985) are incorporated into the blend.
