Jacques Selosse

Highest rating 3 stars! Charismatic producer of Champagne

Jacques Serros was founded in Avize in 1949 by the father of current owner Anselm Serros. The current owner, Anselm, took over the domaine in 1974 after training in winemaking at Leflaive, a prestigious domaine in Burgundy, and began brewing Champagne.

Similar to Burgundy, Champagne is fermented in 228 liter French oak barrels, including new barrels, and then aged in barrels for 6 months. Naturally, the Champagne had a strong oak aroma and hints of oxidation derived from barrel aging, and was criticized by traditional producers as ``not Champagne-like,'' but by American journalists. It was praised as ``Sparkling Colton Charlemagne''. In 1993, all the grapes we harvested were vinified in wooden barrels.
