A blend of fruit from Sélèque’s seven vineyard parcels, the 2019 Partition 7 Parcelles is Chardonnay-dominant, complemented by 14% each of Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. The wine opens with aromas of candied lemon zest, pear and brioche mingling with notes of Madagascar vanilla and cedarwood oil. Vinified in 50% new oak sourced from Atelier Centre France, Cavin and Taransaud, it was disgorged in August 2024 with a dosage of three grams per liter. Full-bodied, concentrated and enveloping, it reveals a fleshy yet saline profile, brimming with natural sweetness despite its Extra Brut designation. Ripe yet racy acidity lends energy and structure. With its generous personality and charm, this cuvée holds considerable aging potential and is poised to win many admirers.

Notes BeMyWine : Soliste Chardonnay comes from the blend of two neighboring plots in Pierry 1er Cru, between Sparnacien clay and Campanian chalk.

Disgorged in March 2024 with three grams per liter dosage, the 2019 Soliste Chardonnay Pierry 1er Cru Les Tartières et Les Porgeons is drawn from two adjacent southeast-facing plots planted in 1985 and 1990, which are pressed and vinified together. Aged in approximately 30% new oak, it unfurls from the glass with aromas of candied lemon peel and early-blooming white flowers, mingling with notes of sandalwood and pastry. Full-bodied and generously structured, it is ample and enveloping, with a concentrated core of fruit supported by ripe yet vibrant acidity. Notably, this cuvée is served after the Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir during tastings—a reflection of its gastronomic gravitas and assertive power, which starkly contrasts with the more restrained style of its Côte des Blancs counterparts.

Notes BeMyWine : Soliste Rosé Meunier comes from a perched, wind-swept plot in Pierry 1er Cru, offering a unique panorama over the Champagne slopes. This 100% Meunier produces a rich and complex rosé with layered flavors and texture. Vinified after destemming and a short maceration, then aged 10 months in oak barrels and 4 years under natural cork, it develops depth and finesse. Finished as an Extra Brut (1.5 g/L), it impresses with balance, freshness, and authenticity.

The 2019 Soliste Meunier Rosé Pierry 1er Cru Les Charmiers is sourced from a high-altitude, wind-exposed parcel near Épernay, which consistently avoids any botrytis pressure. After a maceration of typically between 18 to 24 hours, the wine was disgorged in January 2024 with a dosage of two grams per liter. It jumps from the glass with aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, nutmeg and pink grapefruit zest mingling with notes of brioche. Medium- to full-bodied, it is vinous and textural, with a concentrated fruit core and balance. Given its production method and vintage character, it shows considerable elegance and would pair beautifully with dishes such as smoked salmon.

Vinified entirely in barrels—around 10% of which were new—and disgorged in August 2024 with a dosage of two grams per liter, the latest release of Sélèque’s NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Quintette is based on the 2021 vintage. It is complemented by 20% reserve wines aged in foudres and drawn from a solera established in 2012. The nose reveals notes of lemon zest and pear mingling with Madagascar vanilla and cedarwood oil with a hint of nutmeg. On the palate, it is racy and incisive, offering a stylistic counterpoint to the 2022-based NV cuvées. Sourced from old-vine parcels—primarily in Vertus, Épernay, Pierry and Dizy—it is medium-bodied and marked by abundant chalky extract and bright acidity, culminating in a long, saline, subtly oak-inflected finish.

Based on the 2022 vintage and enhanced by 50% reserve wines aged in a perpetual reserve initiated in 2004, Sélèque’s NV Extra Brut Solessence exudes a bouquet of ripe citrus, peach and freshly baked bread.
