Based in the small village of Pierry, in the Vallé de la Marne, Jean-Marc Seleque is a dynamic and ambitious vigneron; a young grower on the rise. In a few short years, he has created an impressive domaine, which produces true grower Champagne, and for some of the best value in the region. The domaine itself was first conceived in 1965, when Jean-Marc’s grandfather began planting vines with the aid of his father-in-law (then the president of the Pierry co-op). Later Jean-Marc’s father joined the domain in 1974, after acquiring a degree in enology, and significantly updated the winery and expanded its vineyard holdings. Across the range Jean-Marc crafts wines that are vinous, richly textured, complex, but still incredibly mineral and indicative of the varied terroirs he farms. All the wines, from the entry-level to the vintage-dated, see lengthy lees ageing and are brilliantly balanced. Jean-Marc really is a talent to watch and his wines are only getting better and better.
