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.
The objective of the Cuvée l'Esquisse is to bring together the new and young plots of Champagne Moussé. Designed to be fruit-oriented and enjoyed young, this cuvée has a high proportion of sizes which gives it great drinkability.
Jm Sélèque Soliste Meunier is a tribute to the nobility of the great Meunier grape variety, on the historic terroir of Pierry 1er Cru from a mass selection of 1951 which produces wines that are both fruity and precise. Production limited to 2550 bottles only.
Association with the press of 2 adjoining plots located in the heart of the Pierry terroir: Les Tartières and Les Porgeons planted in 1990 and 1985. Pure expression of the complexity, between flesh and tension, of Chardonnays from Coteaux Sud of Epernay.
