The 2018 JM Sélèque Soliste Meunier Rosé Les Charmiers is a rare and highly individual rosé Champagne crafted entirely from Pinot Meunier grown in the Premier Cru vineyard of Les Charmiers in Pierry. Produced by the acclaimed grower-producer JM Sélèque, this single-vineyard Extra Brut cuvée highlights the remarkable depth and complexity of Meunier, offering aromas of wild cherry, raspberry, plum and rose petals, complemented by subtle spice and mineral notes.
On the palate, it is richly textured and beautifully structured, with vibrant acidity supporting flavours of red berries, black cherry and savoury spice. Extended lees ageing and barrel maturation add depth and complexity, while the low dosage preserves freshness and precision. The finish is long, dry and gastronomic, with impressive persistence and mineral character.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding grower Champagne for those looking to explore the serious side of Pinot Meunier. Rich, complex and highly food-friendly, it can be enjoyed now or cellared over the next 8–12 years. Pairs beautifully with roast pigeon, duck, tuna tataki, mushroom dishes and aged cheeses.
