Anselme Selosse during each spring and autumn, the ground work to make it light and porous to allow better passage of water. The plants are kept low with a yield of less than 2 / 3 of the average yield in Champagne. The immune system of the vine are called in a natural way, without any use of chemical treatments. After squeezing the traditional must is put into barrels for fermentation, which starts with l' Addition of selected yeasts and occurs with batonnage weekly throughout the winter and monthly during Summer. This process continues naturally without any intervention, and sometimes lasts until July. The malolactic fermentation is low, Natural acidity of wine is not neutralized because fertilizers do not contain minerals and potassi not ever perform any type of filtering. Anselme Selosse says that his role is not to standardize the taste, but to tell the story of his vocation respecting the vineyards of the wine and the soil. That is not using selected yeasts during fermentation and prefers the pure fructose Grapes for the dosage when dégorgement. These two peculiarities, its Champagne Jacques Selosse and a few other producers, provide a taste that enhances the characteristics of the parcel of land on which l' Grapes were cultivated.
