J-M Sélèque, a family-owned estate in the Vallée de la Marne, is renowned for its commitment to expressing the unique terroirs of Champagne through meticulous viticulture and winemaking. The 'Solessence' Extra Brut is their flagship cuvée, embodying the house's pure and crystalline style, crafted from a blend of seven distinct villages.
- WINEMAKER: Jean-Marc Sélèque
- FARMING: Sustainable practices with a focus on biodiversity
- VARIETY: 50% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Meunier, 10% Pinot Noir
- TERROIR: Sourced from seven villages: Pierry, Moussy, Épernay, Mardeuil, Dizy, Boursault, and Vertus. The soils are predominantly clay, occasionally interspersed with flint and limestone, contributing to the wine's minerality and complexity.
- VINIFICATION: Fermentation is parcel-specific, with 90% occurring in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness, and 10% in oak barrels to enhance texture. The wine undergoes partial malolactic fermentation, and 50% of the blend consists of reserve wines aged in both tanks and oak barrels.
- AGING: The magnum format is aged on lees for approximately 3 years, enhancing depth and complexity. Disgorgement is done with a low dosage of 2 g/L, classifying it as Extra Brut.
- TASTING NOTES: Pale gold with a fine, persistent mousse. Aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and white flowers are complemented by subtle notes of brioche and chalky minerality. The palate is vibrant and well-balanced, showcasing flavors of orchard fruits, lemon curd, and a hint of almond, leading to a crisp, refreshing finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: An excellent aperitif, it also pairs well with seafood dishes, light salads, and soft cheeses.
- SCORES: 92 points – Wine Enthusiast: "This Champagne is a blend of the three Champagne grapes from seven villages. It is dry, crisp and with a taut texture that will soften as the wine matures. Drink this bottling from 2022"
