Jacques Selosse
Located in the village of Avize in Champagne’s famous Côte de Blancs, Jacques Selosse remains a family-run producer, with Anselme's son Guillaume taking the reigns in 2018, and they own close to 8 hectares of vines spread across Avize, Cramant, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Ay, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Ambonnay.
The most ardent collectors will no doubt be familiar with these unique wines, a marmite-style which inspires impassioned devotion in some and bemused scepticism in others. For those in the former camp, however, Jacques Selosse provides an experience unmatched by any other Champagne available.

Disgorged in January 2020, the 2009 Extra-Brut Premier Cru Millésime represents a new direction for Selosse's vintage bottling, as Guillaume Selosse wanted to produce this cuvée from all of the six villages in which the domaine's holdings are located. The resulting wine is spectacular, soaring from the glass with a deep and complex bouquet of mandarin orange, honeycomb, ripe peaches, freshly baked bread, almond paste and dried apricots. Full-bodied, deep and complete, it's elegantly muscular and multidimensional, with extraordinary mid-palate amplitude, ripe but lively acids and a long, intensely sapid finish.Inc. VAT£1,946.00
