Domaine JM Sélèque's Soliste Pinot Noir 1er Cru Les Gayères 2019 is an exceptional Blanc de Noirs, made from 100% Pinot Noir. Produced from an emblematic plot in Pierry, where the vines were planted in 1974, this champagne is distinguished by its aromatic complexity. After 10 months‘ vinification in oak barrels and 4 years’ ageing under a cork flower stopper, it reveals notes of peppery red fruit, sweet almond and chalky minerality for a long, elegant finish.

Domaine JM Sélèque's 2019 Soliste Pinot Noir 1er Cru Les Gayères is a real Champagne nugget, reflecting the excellence of an exceptional terroir in the Pierry 1er Cru. The vines, planted in 1974, thrive on silty clay soils with flinty limestone, resting on a subsoil of orange-coloured clay and deep chalk. This Champagne, made exclusively from 100% Pinot Noir, is vinified without fining or filtration. It is matured in 350 to 600-litre oak barrels for 10 months, allowing it to develop rich aromas and a very fine structure.
After ageing for 4 years under a cork flower stopper, Soliste reveals a complex, elegant nose: aromas of red fruits with a hint of pepper blend harmoniously with the sweetness of almonds, while a chalky minerality asserts itself on the finish. Praised by Wine Advocate and Vinous (94/100), this Champagne is a great gastronomic wine, ideal for accompanying refined dishes. Its limited production makes it a rare cuvée, a true expression of the art of Champagne and the exceptional expertise of Domaine JM Sélèque.
