J M Sélèque stands as a beacon of excitement in the Champagne region, crafting wines that mirror the finesse of top-tier white Burgundy rather than conventional NV Champagne. Since the 1960s, this family-run estate has nurtured their 9 hectares of vineyards across 7 villages in Côteaux Sud d’Épernay, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte de Blancs. Their Chardonnay (50%), Pinot Meunier (40%), and Pinot Noir (10%) vines, mostly planted in the 1960s and 80s, boast maturity and depth. Under the helm of current winemaker Jean-Marc Sélèque since 2008, the estate has embraced biodynamic principles, parcel-by-parcel vinification, and low yields. Their state-of-the-art winery, completed in 2015, enables a gentle approach with gravity, native yeast, and large barrels for delicate micro-oxygenation. Low dosage preserves freshness, allowing the terroir to take center stage in every sip. Tailored vinification celebrates the unique character of each terroir, echoing the harmonious nuances of this exceptional wine. This 75cl bottle is suitable for both men and women to enjoy.
