Champagne J.M. Seleque

Jean-Marc Sélèque is one of Champagne's young innovators—curious, cosmopolitan, and precise. His style combines emotional energy with technical depth.

After stints in California, Australia, and Bordeaux, he returned to the family estate in Pierry in 2008. Today, he cultivates 9 hectares across seven villages—organically, sustainably, and with a distinctive style. His winemaking is meticulously detailed: wood, concrete, stainless steel, extended lees aging, and controlled oxidation.

Critics like William Kelley celebrate the vibrancy and textural depth of his wines. His "Solessence" cuvée, in particular, has become a staple in international restaurants.

Sélèque is part of a generation rethinking Champagne—not loudly, but with conviction.
