✨ Technical Specifications
The Jacques Selosse Lieux-Dits Collection Assortment case is the ultimate expression of Anselme Selosse's revolutionary terroir-driven philosophy. This legendary six-bottle case brings together six distinct single-vineyard Champagnes, each representing a highly specific parcel (lieu-dit) across the Grand Cru and Premier Cru villages of Champagne. Anselme, inspired by his studies in Burgundy, sought to prove that Champagne's diverse soils could express themselves as distinctively as the climats of the Côte d'Or. The collection features three Blanc de Blancs (Chardonnays from Avize, Cramant, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger) and three Blanc de Noirs (Pinot Noirs from Aÿ, Ambonnay, and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ). Each wine is crafted using a solera-like perpetual reserve system, aged in oak casks, and bottled with minimal dosage. This collection is a masterclass in micro-terroir, capturing the tension between chalky minerality, oxidative complexity, and rich, vinous depth.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1949 by Jacques Selosse in the Grand Cru village of Avize, Domaine Jacques Selosse emerged as the spiritual vanguard of the grower Champagne revolution under the leadership of Jacques’ son Anselme, who took control in 1980, and grandson Guillaume. Spanning roughly 7.5 to 8 hectares across prime terroirs in Avize, Cramant, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Aÿ, Ambonnay, and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the estate champions low yields and chemical-free viticulture rooted in organic and biodynamic principles aligned with lunar cycles. Selosse redefined Champagne vinification by applying Burgundian techniques, fermenting base wines with indigenous yeasts in oak barrels, extending lees contact, and embracing intentional oxidative maturation with minimal dosage. Renowned for its singular solera-aged Blanc de Blancs 'Substance' and parcel-specific Lieux-Dits collection (including Les Carelles and Sous le Mont), the domaine crafts vinosity and textural authority that capture pure, uncompromising chalk-driven minerality.
