Domaine Jacques Selosse is a 37-acre estate near the village of Avize in Champagne. The estate, which has achieved cult status in its relatively short history, was started in the 1950s by Jacques Selosse. Since 1980 the estate has been run by Jacques’ son Anselme, and its parcels are in Avize, Cramant, Oger and Les Mesnil-sur-Oger. Anselme was an early adopter of biodynamic farming, essentially a natural, chemical-free farming approach, and in the 1980s also pioneered the idea of “artisanal” Champagne from single vineyards. Robert M. Parker Jr. notes that “It’s quite possible that no Champagne grower since Dom Perignon has been more written about or more influential than Anselme Selosse. (He is)…fanatic in his pursuit of biodynamic methods, of Champagne-as-wine, and, above all of integrity and truth in terroir…”
