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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1949 in the Grand Cru village of Avize, Champagne Jacques Selosse rose to legendary status under the visionary leadership of Anselme Selosse, who took over the estate in 1974. Applying Burgundian winemaking philosophies to the Côte des Blancs, Anselme pioneered low yields, organic viticulture, and fermentation in oak casks, fundamentally transforming modern Champagne production. The estate is celebrated for its highly individualistic, terroir-driven cuvées, including the solera-aged Substance and the acclaimed Lieux-dits series, which showcase an unparalleled depth, oxidative complexity, and vinous character.
