About This Champagne
Version Originale is the Selosse Extra Brut blanc de blancs, drawn from hillside grand cru Chardonnay and raised in barrel. Almost no sugar is added at disgorgement.
Juice for V.O. goes straight from the press into barrel, and all the solids go with it; nothing is thrown away.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Ripe citrus, apple skin, chalk and brioche, with a gently oxidative note of walnut.
- Palate: Broad and mineral, with layered Chardonnay fruit, savoury depth and a fine, creamy bead.
- Finish: Very long and chalk-driven, closing on lemon pith and roasted nuts.
Serving & Food
Match it with lobster in a light cream sauce, black cod with miso, or veal chop with mushrooms.
Good to Know
What is the dosage? Around 1.5 g/L, well inside Extra Brut.
How is it made? Barrel-fermented, three harvests blended, long lees ageing.

About the Maison
Anselme Selosse has never settled on one farming doctrine. The domaine applied organic principles from 1990, moved to biodynamics in 1996, then stepped away from it in 2002, feeling it still imposed too much on nature.
