Jacques Selosse V.O. Version Originale Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut

Jacques Selosse V.O. Version Originale is one of the house’s most iconic cuvées and a true benchmark for Anselme Selosse’s distinctive approach to Champagne. Made from 100% Chardonnay sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in Avize, Cramant, and Oger, it captures both the purity of Côte des Blancs terroir and the depth created by Selosse’s unique winemaking philosophy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, V.O. shows remarkable complexity, with aromas of ripe citrus, baked apple, toasted hazelnut, brioche, honey, and chalky minerality. The oxidative nuances are beautifully woven in, adding depth and intrigue without taking away from the wine’s freshness. The palate is intense and concentrated, with a near-Burgundian texture, vivid acidity, and a strong mineral backbone. 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.

Production
This 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. Fermentation 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.

Food & Serving
This 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.

Producer
Champagne 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.
