Champagne, FranceThe Rosé blends 45% chardonnay, 40% meunier and 15% pinot noir from seven villages. Most of the wine is fermented in stainless with full MLF, though 10 percent is fermented in oak barrels and without MLF. For the rosé, they add 10 percent pinot meunier (infused after two days with skins) pus five percent Coteaux Champenois sourced from Les Gayères. The 40 percent reserve wines are stored in a perpetual reserve (mix of tanks and barrels) that dates back to 2000. My bottle spent a minimum of 18 months on the lees before being disgorged in January 2022 with a two g/L dosage. Welcoming and easy to like, with sweetly scented strawberry, cherry, and pithy tangerine around a ripe, round core, laced with chalk and finishing with a dusting of spice and saline. Drinking now, this friendly rosé is ready for a discerning crowd. Sélèque began in 1965 when Henri Sélèque planted his first plots of vines with the help of his father-in-law, Jean Bagnost, president of the Pierry wine cooperative. Henri's son Richard moved the winery into the modern era, and since 2008 third, gen Jean-Marc has overseen the estate, based in the Coteaux Sud d'Epernay. Since Jean-Marc arrived, no herbicides have been used at the estate.Tasted: 08 January 2023Tasted by: Prices:
