NV JmSélèque Champagne Solessence ‘Nature’ (2018 base)

JmSélèque Champagne Solessence ‘Nature’  is 50% Chardonnay, 40% Meunier, 10% Pinot Noir. Fruit from seven crus on mostly flinty clay on chalky subsoil: Pierry, Moussy, epernay, Mardeuil, Dizy, Boursault, Vertus. Base vintage 2018, with 50% of the blend from wines in perpetual reserve. 70% stainless steel tank and 30% oak barrels. Five years ageing under crown seal. No fining or filtration. Zero dosage.

Based on the 2018 vintage and disgorged in November 2020 with two grams per liter dosage, Sélèque’s latest NV Extra Brut Solessence is showing very well, bursting with aromas of white flowers, pear, crisp stone fruits and almond paste. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it’s lively and saline, with a pillowy mousse and chalky grip on the finish.

“An extra aging of our Solessence cuvée. A fine-tuned symphony, the wine is in its natural balance. Ideal pairing with seafood and savory dishes.” – Jean-Marc & Oriane Sélèque
