Few producers have shaped modern Champagne as profoundly as Jacques Selosse. Widely regarded as the driving force behind the grower revolution, Anselme Selosse transformed perceptions of Champagne through meticulous vineyard work, indigenous yeasts and Burgundian-inspired winemaking, always striving to let nature and terroir speak with the greatest possible clarity. His influence extends far beyond his own estate, with former protégés including Olivier Collin and Jérôme Prévost now among Champagne's most celebrated growers.

Today, the family estate remains in the heart of Avize under the stewardship of Guillaume Selosse, farming just 8.3 hectares of predominantly Grand Cru vineyards, many planted with vines over 55 years old. The domaine's philosophy of minimal intervention and continual adaptation to each growing season produces Champagnes of extraordinary individuality. Intensely expressive, uncompromising and utterly unique, Selosse wines inspire remarkable devotion among collectors and remain some of the most coveted and unforgettable wines in Champagne.   Magnums are even rarer.

"The 1999 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is an explosive, full-bodied wine bursting with fruit. This is a massive, towering Champagne where you can really feel the sheer density and richness of the fruit. The wine possesses exceptional length and compelling intensity in its layers of fruit. Mint, flowers and cloves are some of the nuances that linger on the eternal finish. As delicious as the wine is, the aromas and flavors are decidedly on the oxidative style and may not appeal to all palates."  Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Dec 2009
