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.
🍾 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.
