The JM Sélèque Champagne Solessence NV is the signature cuvée of this highly regarded grower-producer based in the Vallée de la Marne. Blending Chardonnay, Meunier and Pinot Noir from multiple village sites around Épernay, Solessence showcases the estate's precise, terroir-focused approach. A significant proportion of perpetual reserve wine adds extra depth and complexity to this Extra Brut Champagne.
On the palate, it is vibrant and beautifully balanced, with fine bubbles supporting flavours of green apple, pear, citrus zest and white peach. Notes of brioche, almond and chalky minerality add complexity, while bright acidity and low dosage deliver freshness and precision through to a long, dry finish.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding grower Champagne for those who appreciate purity, freshness and a more terroir-driven style. Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit and mineral detail or cellar over the next 5–8 years. Pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, lobster, roast chicken and soft-ripened cheeses.
