Gault&Millau's review 2022

This sweet liqueur wine is made from red Champagne grapes, mutated with Marc de Champagne brandy. The wine has a luminous mahogany color with orange highlights. The nose is powerful, with aromas of old boy jam and cherry brandy. On the palate, the sweetness is evident from the outset, with notes of red fruit and jammy stone fruit. A hint of maple syrup may also appeal. This ratafia offers a power and generosity that would pair perfectly with chocolate-red fruit desserts, and why not with pan-fried foie gras?

JM Sélèque

The family’s winemaking history began in the 1960s with the first plots planted in the renowned terroirs of Moussy and Pierry, a village located on the southern slopes of Épernay, nestled between the Marne Valley and the Côte des Blancs. Jean-Marc Sélèque, along with his wife Oriane, manages 10 hectares of vineyards dominated by Chardonnay (50%), closely followed by Pinot Meunier (40%) and rounded out by Pinot Noir, spread across seven communes (three of which are classified as Premier Cru) with varied soil types. Since 2015, the estate has been equipped with a modern winery to refine winemaking and aging processes using a wide variety of containers.
