✨ Technical Specifications
The Jacques Selosse Lieux-Dits Assortment Case is one of the most coveted treasures in the world of wine, representing Anselme Selosse's ultimate masterclass in Champagne terroir. This highly limited six-bottle collection showcases six distinct single-vineyard (lieu-dit) Champagnes, split equally between the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims/Vallée de la Marne. The collection includes three Blanc de Blancs (Chardonnays from Avize 'Les Chantereines', Cramant 'Chemin de Châlons', and Oger 'Les Carelles') and three Blanc de Noirs (Pinot Noirs from Ambonnay 'Le Bout du Clos', Ay 'La Côte Faron', and Mareuil-sur-Ay 'Sous le Mont'). Utilizing a solera-like perpetual reserve system and traditional Burgundian oak cask fermentation, Selosse coaxes out an astonishingly complex, oxidative, and deeply mineral profile from each unique parcel. This collection is a monument to the philosophy that Champagne can express the singular voice of a single plot of land just as profoundly as the grandest crus of Burgundy.
🍾 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.
