Champagne Jean-Marc Sélèque - Soliste 1er Cru Chardonnay Extra Brut 2017 Bouteille (75cl)
The 2017 Champagne Jean-Marc Sélèque Soliste 1er Cru Chardonnay Extra Brut is a white Champagne crafted by Jean-Marc Sélèque, made entirely from Chardonnay (100%). It originates from two adjoining plots in Pierry, Les Tartières and Les Porgeons, both classified as Premier Cru. Vinified entirely in oak barrels without fining or filtration, it benefits from four years of ageing on natural cork stoppers. Its dosage of 2.5 g/l defines an Extra Brut style that is both tension-filled and ample, true to the Chardonnays of the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay.

Histoire du domaine
The family history began with Henri Sélèque, who arrived in France from Poland in 1925. Settling with his wife Françoise Bagnost on a farm in Boursault, he planted vines in Moussy and Pierry in the 1960s, then produced and marketed his first bottles in 1969 with the help of his father-in-law Jean Bagnost, who was then president of the Pierry cooperative. Their son Richard joined the estate in 1974 after training in oenology. He modernized winemaking and aging practices, equipping the property with a press, vats, barrels, and its own bottling and disgorging line, while expanding the family vineyard toward Dizy, Mardeuil, and Vertus. After viticultural and oenological studies and experiences in Maison Chandon vineyards, particularly in the New World, Jean-Marc Sélèque returned to the estate in 2008 and took charge of winemaking. He gradually reoriented the viticulture toward a more precise expression of plots and natural balances. In 2015, Jean-Marc and his wife Oriane had a new winery built in Pierry.
