Square Bubble Theory | Sebastien Lapaque

Since taking over the family domain in 1979, Anselme Selosse has changed the perception of champagne, in France and around the world. The prestigious cuvées resulting from his endless quest for absolute simplicity have the gift of combining two qualities that were thought to be irreconcilable: breadth and purity. It is as a friend, an enthusiast, and an expert that Sébastien Lapaque leads us on a journey to discover the unique landscape shaped by Jacques Selosse champagnes. With the "perfect winemaker" himself as the sensitive guide, a poet farmer with wide-open eyes. Gourmand, warm, effervescent. *Théorie de la bulle carrée* is a scholarly and generous stroll that explores organic agriculture, biodynamics, the relationship between viticulture and forestry, as well as history, geography, geology, botany. And literature. A revelation of reality that pursues an ambition as lofty as it is humble: the symbiosis of nature, happiness, sharing, poetry, friendship, and lightness. Sébastien Lapaque is a novelist and literary critic. Since *Chez Marcel Lapierre* ('Stocè, 2004) and *Le Petit Lapaque des vins de copains* (Actes Sud, 2006 & 2002), he has imposed a non-conformist discourse on wine, blending agriculture, literature, history, and ecology. Erudite and delightful, his "theories" emerge, without premeditation, as a pirate and accomplice collection within the Actes Sud catalog: *Théorie de la carte postale* (2014), *Théorie de Rio de Janeiro* (2014), *Théorie d'Alger* (2016).
