Histoire du domaine
Jacques Selosse moved to Avize in 1947, although he did not come from a family of winegrowers. He founded the estate with his wife in 1949, starting with just a few plots of vines. During his early years, he mainly sold his grapes to wine merchants. Experiments in winemaking with a view to producing his own champagne began in 1959. The estate’s first winemaking took place in 1964, yielding 2,500 bottles. Anselme Selosse joined the estate in 1974 after training in Beaune, and took over its management in 1980. Under his leadership, the estate developed a viticultural approach based first on organic farming from 1990, then biodynamics from 1996, and finally an approach inspired by permaculture from 2002. He also introduced the practice of vinifying and maturing wine from individual plots in barrels. Guillaume Selosse joined his father at the estate in 2012 and has been in charge since 2018. The vineyard now covers 8.3 hectares, spread across 54 plots, mainly classified as grands crus.
V.O. Version Originale
V.O., for Version Originale, is a non-vintage Chardonnay cuvée sourced from the grand crus of Avize, Cramant and Oger. It blends three successive vintages originating mainly from hillside vines. Its ageing on lees is longer and its dosage lower than that of Initial.
- Style of the cuvée
- Brut or low-dosage Blanc de Blancs Champagne, structured, vinous and ample, marked by a chalky expression and controlled oxidation linked to oak ageing.
- Position within the range
- Iconic cuvée positioned above Initial due to the selection of hillside plots and prolonged ageing on lees.
