Anselme Selosse can be described as eccentric, obsessed, charismatic and messianic, who, depending on one's point of view, is one of the most fascinating vignerons at work in Champagne today. His philosophy is conspicuously Burgundian in the winery, where all of his 35 Chardonnay plots (in Avize, Cramant, Oger, Le Mesnil, Ay, Mareuil-sur- Ay and Ambonnay) are vinified separately in small Burgundian barrels that have been bought in from Domaine Leflaive, no less. Eschewing malolactic fermentation and keeping the dosage low are practices which find empirical antithesis in the ripeness of fruit which has been farmed as late as possible. Man and wine alike court strong opinion, in itself no bad thing in a region dominated by the power of the Grandes Marques.

Jacques Selosse Rose Brut NV
12% abv
Vol- 75cl
Selosse is easily one of the most progressive growers in Champange, with his embrace of biodynamic viticulture, and resistance to chaptalization, cultured yeasts, filtration, and other “modern” vinemaking techniques. This meticulous attitude results in idiosyncratic, almost painfully intense, soil-driven blanc de blancs that demand aging. These wines are often extraordinarily tactile and bracing, and not for the faint of heart. Only the house’s powerful and scarce rosé includes a bit of Pinot Noir.
