J-M Sélèque, located in the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay, is run by Jean-Marc Sélèque, who took over the family domaine in 2008. The estate focuses on terroir-driven Champagnes, and since Jean-Marc's leadership, the vineyards have been cultivated without herbicides.

  • Winemaker: Jean-Marc Sélèque

  • Farming: Sustainable, no herbicides used

  • Variety: 45% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Meunier, 15% Pinot Noir

  • Terroir: Sourced from seven villages, including Pierry and Moussy, with soils rich in chalk and flint

  • Vinification: Fermented in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels. The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation, with some of the blend aged in a perpetual reserve system, and a dosage of 2g/L

  • Aging: Aged for a minimum of 18 months on the lees

  • Tasting Note: Aromas of strawberry, cherry, and citrus with hints of baking spices and chalk. The palate is vibrant and refreshing, with a delicate balance of fruit, minerality, and a touch of saline on the finish
