Lot presentation
Solessence Nature Brut Nature Jean-Marc Sélèque
The wine
Solessence is a blend of several terroirs around Pierry, Dizy, Mardeuil, Épernay, Boursault, Vertus and Mancy. The predominantly limestone-clay soils, combined with varied hillside exposures, bring tension and minerality through Champagne’s chalk, generosity and texture from the clay, and aromatic complexity thanks to the diversity of villages and grape varieties. Following manual harvests, and gentle pressing in a traditional press, fermentation with native yeasts takes place partly in stainless steel vats and partly in oak casks. The wine is then aged on fine lees for seven months, without fining or filtration, preserving its purity.
In the glass, the wine reveals a striking pale gold hue. The fine, expressive nose reveals notes of citrus fruit, fresh pear, green apple and acacia blossom, underpinned by a beautifully pure chalky note. Direct and finely chiselled on the attack, the palate is driven by vibrant mineral tension.
