Who is behind Champagne Jacques Selosse and what is the history of this family estate?
The Domaine Jacques Selosse was founded in Avize in 1949 by Jacques Selosse himself, although he did not come from a family of winegrowers. It was his son Anselme who, after training alongside some of the greatest names in Burgundy, took over the estate from 1974 onwards and gave it an international dimension, bringing to Champagne Burgundian winemaking techniques and oxidative ageing methods inspired by the great estates of Andalusia. Today, it is Guillaume, Anselme's son, who perpetuates this legacy by continuing to produce Champagnes of rare complexity and elegance.
