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.
Totally faithful to the signature of Rare Champagne, Rare Millésime 2008 guarantees unlimited potential for growth, youth and complexity. It delivers all the emotions of a pure and infinite spring.
Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1985 is composed entirely of Chardonnay from 5 Grands Crus villages of the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. An exceptional Champagne made only from first press wines.
Bruno Paillard Dosage Zéro is a selection from the first pressing of the three grape varieties and for the majority vinified in small oak barrels. The “reserve wines” account for half of the blend. The aging is extended well beyond the legal duration: 3 to 4 years in bottle "on the lees" followed by 6 months of rest after disgorging. Dosage: zero.
Egly-Ouriet Millesime 2016 is a Champagne made from old vines from the estate located in Ambonnay, a terroir classified Grand Cru. A great cuvée for aging in an exceptional vintage!
Jacques Selosse Initial Champagne is a world famous champagne that is produced by the Jacques Selosse champagne house in the Champagne region of France. It is a high quality champagne that is made from carefully selected Chardonnays grown in the best Grands Crus vineyards in the region.
Les Rocheforts is a "parcellaire" Cuvée limited to 3500 bottles, produced by a talented Winemaker: Etienne Calsac. This is a Blanc de Blancs from a plot called Les Rocheforts located on the Bisseuil 1er Cru terroir. A champagne with a lot of complexity and minerality.
Piper-Heidsieck Essentiel Blanc de Noirs combines Pinot Noir, the House's historic grape variety, with Pinot Meunier in a delicate blend. The diversity of the terroirs from which the 10 selected "crus" come, allows the complexity of the black grape varieties to be sublimated in a fruity and elegant Champagne.
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.
