The soil is primarily clay, with some presence of flint and limestone, while the subsoil is predominantly chalk at various depths.
The wine is aged for 10 months in both stainless steel tanks (60%) and oak barrels (40%) on its fine lees, without any fining or filtration. 50% of the blend is a perpetual reserve wine, also aged in steel tanks and oak barrels.
This Champagne ages for at least two years in the bottle. It's an Extra Brut with a dosage of just 2 g/L.
It’s a Champagne for sharing, built around the estate's diverse terroirs. It perfectly expresses the pure and crystalline Sélèque style, ideal for any occasion.

Domaine Sélèque: A Family Story of Innovation and Tradition
The history of the Sélèque family in the world of Champagne began with Henri Sélèque, a Polish immigrant to France who, in the 1960s, planted his first vineyards in Moussy and Pierry. With the help of his father-in-law, Henri produced his first bottles in 1969, laying the foundation for the family business.
The real turning point came in 1974 with Richard, Henri's son, who brought a wave of modernity. After studying oenology, Richard focused on improving the winemaking and aging practices, investing in new equipment to independently manage every phase of production, from pressing to bottling. Together with his father, he also expanded the vineyards, acquiring plots in prestigious areas like Dizy, Mardeuil, and Vertus, in addition to the ones they already owned. His technical rigor remains a cornerstone of the Domaine's philosophy to this day.
In 2008, it was the turn of Jean-Marc, Richard's son. After studying and working in "New World" wineries, such as in Napa Valley and the Yarra Valley, he returned home with a wealth of technical knowledge and a meticulous focus on precision. However, his experiences abroad had also shown him the limitations of a purely technological approach, which often sacrifices the authenticity of the wine in the name of standardization.
