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 created in tribute to Louis, brother of Elisabeth Salmon, passionate about oenology and very involved in the development of wines since the creation of the House. This Vintage Blanc de Blancs Champagne comes from the best plots of the Côte des Blancs, giving it purity and exceptional minerality.
Franck Bonville Pur Oger 2018 comes from 2 plots located in Oger: Les Rumigny and Les Noyerots. The terroir of Oger, Grand Cru, is made up of a part nestled in the hollow of a valley between Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, where the "Les Rumigny" plot is located, and a part at the bottom of the hills on the Noyerots plateau. It is the duality of this terroir that the House...
