V.O. Blanc de Blancs - Jacques Selosse
The domain
The Domaine was founded in 1949 in Avize by Jacques Selosse. Taken over in 1974 by his son Anselme then 20 years old, he produces in an artisanal way and in the respect of the vines of the champagne High quality. Each year, 57,000 bottles come out of the property. The quantities produced are therefore reduced, which makes these cuvées rare and highly coveted. Covering an area of 7.5 hectares, the estate has 47 plots located mainly in the White Coast. And since it has been run by Anselme, a few changes have taken place, particularly in terms of yields and the method of viticulture. Indeed, an ecologist at heart, he decided to favor low yields. He adopted the organic viticulture but without seeking any certification. This allows it to distinguish itself from other Houses and to offer exceptional wines.

Tasting: The Cuvée Version Originale from Maison JACQUES SELOSSE is a low-dose Grand Cru Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs champagne produced in very small quantities. It is the original version, the most original of the terroir which gives it its birth name, the Grand Cru Avize, kingdom of Chardonnay. After having spent 7 years in the cellar, this naturally imposing champagne is to be discovered as an aperitif with warm and elaborate canapés or with a truffle risotto. The richness of the fruit is at the heart of this champagne. The granny apple, tatin, hazelnut and marzipan, but above all the spices (ginger, nutmeg, curry), give a nose of infinite complexity. On the palate, it is powerful and has a beautiful saline and very mineral expression, with a long and delicate finish. This intense and powerful champagne is intended for purists. It is a champagne with a strong personality and of very high quality! |
