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.
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.
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.
Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Collection embodies the interpretation of a particular year by the cellar master, thus revealing the unique personality of each vintage. The 2004 vintage, the 70th since 1842, is particularly rich.
Dizy Corne Bautray is part of the Lieux-dits collection of Maison Jacquesson. This is a very confidential Champagne from a one hectare plot of Chardonnay planted on the lieu-dit Corne Bautray in the village of Dizy. The 2014 harvest is low in quantity but of remarkable quality.
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.
Egly-Ouriet Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes is a Cuvée from a Pinot Noir vine, lieu-dit “Les Crayères”, planted in 1946 and 1947 on an exceptional terroir in the Ambonnay vineyard classified as a Grand Cru.
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.
