Champagne // France

Rising star of Champagne! The Chardonnay grapes come from two adjacent south-facing plots named Les Tartières and Les Porgeons, whose current vines were planted in 1990 and 1985 respectively. They grow in the heart of the Pierry slope, right in the middle, with Tartières stretching above Porgeons. The higher site grows in five feet of clay over Campanian chalk, whereas the layer of clay in Porgeons tapers up to a level of less than one foot. This is a great example of what the Côteaux Sud can do with Chardonnay: a wine with ample body and fruit, coupled with superb tension.

About the Producer

Jean Marc Sélèque is the rising star of Champagne. He has an almost artisanal vision of wine, which advocates accuracy and authenticity above all.

In 1925, his grandfather Henri left Poland for France. He settled in the small village of Pierry, south of Épernay, where he bought a farm with his wife Françoise Bagnost. It was Jean Bagnot, his wife's father (and also a Champagne winemaker by profession) who advised Henri to invest in the local vineyard during the 1960s. Together, they began to produce and sell their first wines. Today, he manages 9 hectares planted on clay and chalk soil, or 45 different plots located in 7 communes. 3 plots are classified as premier cru. 50% of the production comes from Chardonnay, the rest being Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir.

Later his son Richard Sélèque began helping his parents at the wine estate in 1974. He and his father acquired additional plots of land in the Marne Valley and on the Côte des Blancs and also modernized the methods and tools used. Richard demonstrated formidable technical skills, which allowed him to develop the Sélèque name in order to elevate it to the rank of a prestigious brand.

Since 2008, Jean-Marc has joined the Champagne house. This young man who learned his trade in Napa Valley seeks to use the foundations set up by Richard, while anchoring winemaking practices in a sustainable approach.
