One of the rarest and most sought-after wines of the Jacques Selosse estate, created by the legendary Anselme Selosse, one of the most influential producers of modern Champagne. He effectively changed the idea of what a Champagne can be, placing the emphasis on terroir, low yields, ageing in oak and a Burgundian approach to winemaking. Chardonnay from the best sites of the Côte des Blancs, aged in small oak barrels with long contact with the lees. The Jacques Selosse style is marked by a deliberately more oxidative approach, minimal intervention and very low production volumes. This is precisely why every cuvée has a strongly pronounced individuality, depth and an almost vinous texture. Many collectors consider Millesime one of the most complex and most gastronomic Champagnes. Its production is extremely limited, and part of the bottles is allocated directly among regular customers and the best restaurants in the world. Because of the high demand and the microscopic volumes, Jacques Selosse Millesime 2009 is considered one of the most desirable collectors' bottles of Champagne.

  • Compatibility

    Pairs perfectly with sea urchins, scallop tartare, lobster, poultry and aged Comté cheese. Thanks to its rich texture, depth and vivid minerality, the Champagne underlines particularly beautifully dishes with pronounced creamy, iodine and umami shades.

  • Color

    Golden colour with amber glints and a very fine, delicate perlage.

  • Scent

    A multi-layered and intense nose unfolds with notes of baked apple, candied citrus, apricot and ripe pear, complemented by shades of iodine, toasted hazelnut, fresh pastry, honey and smoke. As it opens, the characteristic oxidative nuances of wax, caramel and roasted coffee appear.

  • Taste

    On the palate the Champagne is at once powerful, ample and incredibly elegant. A creamy texture combines with vivid acidity and deep minerality. Notes of pastry cream, nuts, ripe citrus, salted caramel and spices gradually move into a long, rich and very energetic finish.
