Description
Domaine JM Sélèque's Coteaux Champenois Épernay Blanc ‘Les Frileux’ 1er Cru 2021 is a real gem for connoisseurs of terroir-based Champagne. Made from a rare blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Petit Meslier, this wine reflects the excellence of an exceptional terroir. The parcel, located in the ‘Les Frileux’ sector and planted in 2012, lies on silty soils with very amorous clays, quickly replaced by Champagne chalk, offering an authentic minerality.
Facing south-east on a 15% slope, the vineyard benefits from optimum sunshine and an atmosphere cooled by the winds, favouring late ripening that preserves a fine acidity. The wine is made by direct pressing in a small manual press, followed by fermentation and ageing in 220-litre wineglobes for 23 months, without fining or filtration. Bottled in August 2023, this wine reveals a complex bouquet combining the freshness of white flowers, the brightness of ripe citrus fruit and hints of aniseed, enriched by a greedy fruitiness reminiscent of crisp apples and juicy peaches.
Produced in an ultra-limited quantity of 293 bottles, this wine is an invitation to discover a pure and refined expression of Champagne, a true collector's item for lovers of unforgettable sensory experiences.
