Jacques Selosse "Lieux-Dits" – Les Chantereines (Avize Grand Cru)
The Heart of Avize: A Crystalline Anthem of Chalk and Light.
Welcome to the inner sanctum of the Jacques Selosse estate. "Les Chantereines" is a singular tribute to Avize, the village that defined the grower champagne revolution. Sourced from a tiny, east-facing parcel with razor-sharp limestone soils, this 100% Chardonnay is the most crystalline and vertical expression in the Lieux-Dits collection. Using the signature perpetual reserve (Solera) method, Anselme Selosse has created a wine that vibrates with energy—a liquid reflection of the pure white chalk from which it was born.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: A pale, luminous gold with silver reflections, looking as sharp and brilliant as a diamond.
Nose: An incredibly high-toned and ethereal aromatic profile. It opens with intense scents of crushed stones, sea spray, and citrus blossom, followed by sophisticated layers of green apple, mint, and a whisper of toasted brioche from its long barrel aging.
Palate: A masterpiece of tension. The palate is defined by a "salty" minerality and a laser-like acidity that cuts through the wine's subtle oxidative richness. It is lean, muscular, and incredibly persistent, finishing with a crystalline purity that lasts for minutes.
Food Pairing
This wine's intense minerality and focus require dishes that celebrate purity:
The Marine Match: Premium Sashimi (especially Snapper or Scallop), fresh Belon oysters, or a delicate lobster tartare with lime zest.
Modern Gastronomy: Steamed wild sea bass with ginger and spring onions, or a cold cucumber and mint gazpacho.
Pure Sophistication: A simple piece of 36-month aged Comté, allowing the wine's acidity to harmonize with the cheese's nutty crystals.
Story & Heritage
While many of Selosse's wines are about power, Les Chantereines is about Precision. The name refers to the "singing" of the vines on the steep slopes of Avize. Anselme Selosse treats this plot with particular reverence, as it sits in the very heart of his home terroir. By blocking malolactic fermentation and using very little dosage (Extra Brut), he ensures that the "voice" of the Avize chalk remains loud and clear. This is the connoisseur's choice for understanding the true meaning of mineralité.
