Domaine Jacques Selosse
Substance Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne
Wines
Jacques Selosse Substance Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne is a highly esteemed Champagne originating from the village of Avize in the Champagne region of France. Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, this Champagne is the result of an innovative solera method that began in 1986, blending wines from multiple vintages to achieve consistency and complexity.
It is distinguished by rich aromas of honey, minerals, and smoke, with pronounced notes of dried fruit, peach, honey, and toasted nuts. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied, vinous, and vibrant taste, marked by high concentration, bright acidity, and a long, intensely saline finish.
This Champagne pairs beautifully with dishes such as shellfish, rich fish, and soft, mild cheeses.
Producer
Domaine Jacques Selosse is a prestigious Champagne house located in the village of Avize, in the Champagne region of France, renowned for its innovative approach to viticulture and winemaking. It was founded by Jacques Selosse in 1949, and the first Champagne under the estate’s own name was produced in 1964.
The winery introduced Burgundian techniques into Champagne production, including fermentation and aging in oak barrels - an unusual practice for the region at the time. Today, the estate covers approximately 8 hectares of vineyards spread across 54 parcels, mostly classified as Grand Cru, with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir as the dominant grape varieties.
The annual production is limited to around 55,000 bottles, which adds to the exclusivity and high demand for their wines.
