Champagne Extra-Brut "Solessence" | Wine from the house of JM Sélèque

The House of JM Sélèque is the legacy of a family passion that began in the 1960s with Henri Sélèque, who planted his first vines on the prestigious terroirs of Moussy and Pierry. Joined by his son Richard, a visionary oenologist, the house has evolved towards precision and modern viticulture. Since 2008, Jean-Marc, representing the third generation, has cultivated his vines with a deep respect for natural balances, producing authentic champagnes that express the richness and diversity of the Champagne terroirs.

The Champagne Extra-Brut "Solessence" is an emblematic cuvée of the house, reflecting precise craftsmanship and a philosophy focused on purity and balance. Blending 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Meunier, and 10% Pinot Noir, this champagne is made from grapes grown on clay-flint soils with a chalky subsoil. Carefully vinified, it combines fermentation in stainless steel tanks (70%) and oak barrels (30%), before being aged half in tanks and half in wood. After two years of aging on the lees, it is disgorged with a liqueur dosed at only 2 g of sugar per liter, offering an Extra-Brut style with great freshness and digestibility.

This champagne charms with its brilliant golden-hued robe and its fine and persistent effervescence. The nose reveals delicate aromas of citrus, white flowers, and light brioche notes. On the palate, the attack is lively and elegant, with a beautiful minerality and a persistent finish marked by a subtle touch of almond and flint.

The Champagne Extra-Brut "Solessence" is ideal for accompanying your elegant appetizers, seafood, or grilled fish. It also pairs perfectly with refined dishes such as scallop carpaccio or a fresh cheese like goat cheese. Versatile, it also enhances moments shared with friends or family celebrations.
