✨ 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 the 1950s by Jacques Selosse and propelled to legendary status by his visionary son Anselme Selosse, Domaine Jacques Selosse is based in the Grand Cru village of Avize in the heart of Champagne's Côte des Blancs. Anselme took over the estate in 1980 after studying in Burgundy, fundamentally revolutionizing the grower Champagne movement through meticulous, non-interventionist viticulture, minimal yields, and native yeast fermentations in oak barrels. Renowned for a singular, vinous, and lightly oxidative style, the house crafts profoundly complex cuvées, including the solera-aged Substance, the precise Initial and Version Originale, and an acclaimed collection of single-parcel Lieux-dits. Today, along with Anselme's son Guillaume, the domaine continues to set the benchmark for terroir-focused, artisanal Champagne with unrivaled depth and expressive minerality.
