Champagne Extra-Brut "Solessence" | Wine from LA MAISON JM Sélèque

Champagne Extra-Brut "Solessence" House JM Sélèque

LA MAISON de Champagne JM Sélèque began in the 1960s when Henri Sélèque planted vines on the renowned terroirs of Moussy and Pierry, and bottled in his name in 1969. Richard, his son, an oenologist, brought the property into the era of modernity and technical precision, while expanding the family wine heritage. Since 2008, Jean-Marc, the third generation, a follower of a culture closer to natural balances, anchors his production in the search for authenticity and expression of the terroirs.

The Champagne Extra-Brut "Solessence" from la maison JM Sélèque, an exceptional cuvée of la maison made from a blend of Chardonnay (40%), Pinot Meunier (40%) and Pinot Noir (10%) on different terroirs mainly composed of flint clays on chalky subsoil. In the winery, vinification is mainly done in stainless steel vats but with 30 oak barrels and then is aged half in vats and half oak barrels. The bottles are then aged for 2 years on slats, then disgorged and filled with a liqueur dosed at 2g of sugar per litre (Extra-Brut). This cuvée is a reflection of the identity of la maison, a wine for friends, for sharing in a pure and digestible style in all circumstances.
