Jacques Selosse Exquise Sec 2019 750mL

Jacques Selosse Exquise Sec 2019 is the sec (sweeter-dosage) bottling from Anselme Selosse's Avize domaine, made from late-harvested Chardonnay grapes and bottled in the domaine's oxidative, low-intervention style. It is a sought-after release for collectors tracking the full Selosse line-up of vintage-dated Blanc de Blancs expressions.

From the Producer

Jacques Selosse is a Récoltant-Manipulant grower domaine based in Avize in the Côte des Blancs, founded by Jacques Selosse and taken over by his son Anselme Selosse in 1980. Anselme is widely credited with redefining oxidative, terroir-led grower Champagne, with fermentation and maturation in used barriques, very low sulfur use, and an emphasis on single-vineyard, vintage-dated wines over the dosage targets of the larger houses. The Exquise Sec cuvée is drawn from late-harvested Chardonnay, finished with a higher dosage than the domaine's Extra Brut bottlings, and is one of the smaller-production expressions in the Avize cellar.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Candied citrus, baked apple, dried apricot and gentle oxidative notes of brioche and honeyed pastry.
• Palate: Ripe orchard fruit lifted by the sec dosage, with the Avize chalk line underneath and the domaine's signature textural, barrel-aged weight.
• Finish: Long and honeyed, with the saline, mineral Avize close balancing the sweeter dosage.

Best For

Grower Champagne collectors tracking the full Selosse line-up, gastronomic pairings where a richer dosage is welcome, and buyers seeking an alternative expression to the domaine's Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs.
