The Climb
Viticulture in this profile is defined through direct work with vine lifecycle and terroir reading. In 2004, Anselme Selosse began as Viticulture Overseer at Feudi di San Gregorio in Campania, Italy, adding another growing region to a practice already tied to Champagne. Since 1980, the work at the domaine in Avize has centered on Champagne made through both inherited method and applied cellar choice.
Where They Are Now
Champagne production at the domaine continues to test convention from within the appellation rather than outside it. In Avize, Anselme Selosse works with a selection of yeast strains from his own vineyards and also practices decanting champagnes. His own description of the role is practical rather than ornamental: a “midwife or obstetrician bringing a baby into the world.”
