Description

Located in the village of Avize in the Côte des Blancs, Domaine Jacques Selosse is known for its artisanal and terroir-driven approach to winemaking. Jacques Selosse, the founder of the Domaine, is considered a pioneer in the field of grower champagnes. The estate practices organic and biodynamic viticulture and has a strong emphasis on the use of oak barrels for fermentation and ageing. This 2008 vintage expression was disgorged in January 2020. It is a full-bodied and concentrated champagne, revealing notes of orchard fruit, buttery pastry, macadamia nuts and hints of smoke.

About this wine

The Jacques Selosse Millesime 2008 is a remarkable vintage Champagne that epitomizes the house style of complexity, depth, and precision. Crafted from the best Chardonnay grapes of the year, this exceptional cuvée underwent prolonged ageing on lees to enhance its rich, nuanced profile, marked by vibrant acidity and a distinct minerality. This vintage offers a rich palette of aromas, including ripe stone fruit, toasted nuts, and a hint of brioche. The palate is characterized by a silky texture, precise bubbles, and a long, mineral-driven finish.
