Champagne JM Sélèque Quintette NV
Champagne, FranceJean-Marc Sélèque is a 3rd generation vigneron, overseeing his family's estate of 7.5 hectares. This BdB comes from five sites in Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs: Pierry, Epernay, Mardeuil, Dizy, and Vertus. It was fermented in a split of stainless and oak (no MLF), with 20% reserve wines. It spent at least four years sur lattes, and my bottle was disgorged in February 2022 with two g/L. Quite broad-shouldered, carrying dense green apple and subtle white peach blossoms across a lightly creamy palate. Exceptionally robust yet still friendly, this is one to pocket for serving with roast poultry. My bottle tasted a little tired; I will try again.Tasted: 05 March 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $91.00 | 750ml | LCBO |
