{"title":"Champagne Jacques Selosse","description":"\u003cp\u003eChampagne Jacques Selosse in Avize is the grower who, more than anyone, changed how people think about Champagne: a wine of place first, a sparkling wine second. Look out for V.O. Version Originale, the Rosé, Millésime vintages going back to 1996 and the wooden case holding all six Lieux-Dits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eJacques Selosse: the Avize family estate that became a cult Champagne\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacques Selosse started making Champagne from his own grapes in the 1950s, though for years most of the harvest went to the big houses. The turning point was his son Anselme. He trained in oenology in Beaune, where he absorbed the methods of estates such as Coche-Dury, Leflaive and Comtes Lafon, and took charge of the family domaine in 1980. He brought home a Burgundian way of thinking: low yields, barrel fermentation and wine that tastes of its vineyard, not of a house style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2018 his son Guillaume Selosse has run the estate, after several years making his own cuvées. Anselme and his wife Corinne also opened the hotel and restaurant Les Avisés in Avize in 2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrand cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe domaine covers 8.3 hectares split across 54 parcels, nearly all of them grand cru. Most of it is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/chardonnay\"\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/a\u003e in Avize, Cramant, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Around one hectare of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pinot-noir\"\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/a\u003e sits on the Montagne de Reims in Aÿ, Ambonnay and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. The vines are old, with an average age of well over fifty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar the base wines ferment in barrel on native yeasts, see little sulphur and spend a long time on their lees. Dosage is low and several cuvées are Extra Brut. The result is an oxidative, vinous style: hazelnut, honey, brioche and ripe citrus, held together by a salty chalk backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInitial, V.O. and Substance: the classic Selosse cuvées\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInitial\u003c\/strong\u003e is the entry point to the house: a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/blanc-de-blancs\"\u003eBlanc de Blancs\u003c\/a\u003e Brut blended from three successive vintages from the lower slopes. \u003cstrong\u003eV.O.

The Pinot Noirs come from Sous le Mont in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, La Côte Faron in Aÿ and Le Bout du Clos in Ambonnay. The wooden case of all six shows one grower reading six soils side by side.

The finish is long, saline, and precise, with lingering notes of citrus, nuts, and spice. It already offers tremendous complexity, but it also has the structure and concentration to age gracefully for years, developing even more depth over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis cuvée is built from old-vine Chardonnay grown on Grand Cru parcels in the Côte des Blancs, where chalk-rich soils and the region’s cool climate give the wine its tension and finesse. Production follows a solera-like system, with multiple vintages blended continuously to create depth, continuity, and a signature house style.\n\nFermentation and maturation take place in oak barrels, and dosage is kept extremely low to preserve energy, precision, and terroir expression. The result is a Champagne that balances richness, structure, and clarity with exceptional individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an exceptional Champagne for refined dishes such as oysters, scallops, lobster, caviar, sashimi, roast chicken, or aged Comté and Parmesan. It also pairs beautifully with creamy sauces and dishes with a subtle nutty character. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short period in the glass can help the wine раскры its full aromatic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChampagne Jacques Selosse is one of the most influential and closely watched producers in Champagne, largely shaped by the vision of Anselme Selosse. Based in Avize, the house helped redefine expectations for grower Champagne through its focus on terroir, oxidative élevage, oak maturation, and low dosage. Today, it is widely regarded as a reference point for expressive, site-driven Champagne and one of the region’s most admired domaines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Jacques Selosse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54350203617617,"sku":"FW-1201","price":669.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/SelossVO.png?v=1784302716"}],"url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/collections\/champagne-jacques-selosse.oembed","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
