Enquire about availabilityThe latest release of Selosse’s NV Brut Rosé, based on the 2018 vintage and disgorged in February 2024 with 2.5 grams per liter dosage, derives mostly from Avize and Cramant. Similarly to Initial, the sources for the Rosé are primarily the lower-altitude slopes. At its core, it is Chardonnay, complemented by about 3% Pinot Noir, sourced from the Egly family (aged in Selosse’s barrel), a historical exchange between the two growers. Guillaume told me that for the Rosé, they select barrels with a more pronounced spicy character. Flamboyant and ample, the wine offers a deep bouquet of orange zest, cardamon, dried fruit and walnut. Laden with mouthwatering acidity and chalky structuring extract, it is one of the most characterful, complex rosés to be found in France.
Jacques Selosse stands among Champagne's most respected independent producers, renowned for meticulous craftsmanship and a philosophy rooted in minimal intervention and maximum expression of terroir. This Brut Rosé exemplifies the house's commitment to complexity and precision, showcasing the distinctive character of the Champagne region through a carefully balanced Champagne blend.
The wine expresses pronounced intensity with layers of citrus fruit, dried fruit, spicy, and nutty notes, underpinned by a characteristic chalky minerality that speaks to the chalky soils of Champagne. At 12% ABV, this sparkling wine maintains elegance and refinement, making it equally at home as an aperitif or paired with sophisticated cuisine.
Versatile yet refined, this Champagne complements shellfish, crab, and lobster with particular grace, while its acidity and complexity enhance salads, sushi, and citrus-based dishes. It's equally suited to fine dining occasions or as an accompaniment to goat cheese and fresh berries, making it an essential addition to any curated wine collection.
