With their feet in the vineyard and their heads in the stars, Anselme and Guillaume Selosse deliver some of the finest expressions of Champagne. Nectars with strong personalities and assertive origins, Champagne Selosse are an invitation to travel and (re)discover the terroirs of the Côte des Blancs.

The Selosse name shines at the pinnacle of the Champagnes de Vignerons sphere.
A forerunner in many respects, Anselme Selosse has never stopped searching for the truth in every vine, in every bunch. Convinced of the importance of terroir, he puts himself at the service of the vines, enabling them to convey their message and identity through grapes that are always harvested at the right ripeness. Always questioning, Anselme Selosse’s only philosophy is the quality of the grapes he harvests. This quality must be optimal to allow the soil to express its characteristics clearly.
In the cellar, vinification is respectful of each origin, and ageing is varied (the Solera principle is aptly named here, with each older vintage “educating” the younger ones). Each cuvée is worthy of a work of art and conveys an intense emotion that has never been equaled. Purity and depth meet around fine, light bubbles, a pinnacle of elegance and intensity.
Working in collaboration with his father since 2012, Guillaume Selosse took over the reins in 2018 and continues his father’s work with brio. Creativity, rigor, and passion are still the watchwords at the domaine. The champagnes produced are simply marvelous. Vibrant and intense, they transport and enchant us. At times elegant and saline, they propel us to the heart of the chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs, offering Chardonnays worthy of the finest Burgundy terroirs. At times powerful and intense, they deliver unforgettable notes of spice.
The rarity of the bottles produced only adds to the feeling of good fortune and goodness that comes over us when we manage to taste one of the estate’s flasks.
