Jacques Selosse
Today the vineyard cultivated by Jacques Selosse extends over 8,3 hectares, mostly planted with old vines whose age can be traced back to 1922. The average age of the vines is over 55 years. The vines are distributed in 54 plots located on plots of great value, almost all classified as Grand Cru.
Chardonnay, the dominant grape variety, amounts to 7,3 hectares and is found in the Côte de Blancs essentially in Avize, but also in Cramant, Oger and Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger.
The Pinot Noir grape represents 1,0 hectares in total and is found in Ay, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ (Premier Cru rated at 99%) and Ambonnay. Individually, there are over 70.000 Chardonnay strains and 9.500 Pinot Noir strains.
Since 2010, Jacques Selosse wines include the “Lieux-Dits” collection, six cuvées from six parcels (each with the name of its parcel of origin) from six different villages. These wines offer a unique journey through the Champagne vineyard and allow you to experience the variation of the wine according to its origins. Three cuvées are made from 100% Chardonnay from the villages of Cramant (lieu-dit “Chemin de Châlons”, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (lieu-dit “Les Carelles”) and Avize (lieu-dit “Les Chanteraines”).
Three other cuvées are 100% Pinot Noir (with the exception of "Bout du Clos" d'Ambonnay which is a plot planted with 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay) from the villages of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ (lieu-dit " Sous Le Mont ”), Ambonnay (lieu-dit“ Le Bout du Clos ”) and Aÿ (lieu-dit“ La Côte Faron ”).
