TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

100% Pinot Noir from the Pierry 1er Cru parcel of Les Gayeres, which was planted in 1975. It's on the mid-slope of a west-facing limestone ridge with Campanian chalk soils. It features flinty clay and small lumps of calcite. It is vinified entirely in oak barrels, and is aged on lees under natural cork for four years. Bottled without fining or filtration with a dosage of 2g/L. "Rooted in the thickness of flinty clays, proud vines give us small black grapes with crisp skins, taking advantage of the west winds and the sunset." - Jean-Marc & Oriane Seleque. Importer note

Jean-Marc Seleque

Jean-Marc Seleque’s grandfather Henri planted his first vines in Pierry in 1965, a tradition taken up when Father Richard began bottling his grower Champagne in the ‘70s. Jean-Marc himself took over duties in 2008 and began transforming this into the very model of a top-flight grower it is today. Viticulture is organic (not certified) to preserve a living and varied ecosystem and make the vines more autonomous and resistant. There is a highly qualified team of five people throughout the year to perfect the work in the vineyard, which includes ploughing soil, strict pruning and cover-cropping to promote the rooting of the vine and microbial life. Under Jean-Marc, the estate has been renamed and the range redefined, while the completion of the new cellar in 2015 is a further statement of intent. Pierry itself is a premier cru village just outside Epernay, known (and increasingly so, with Jean-Marc as flag-bearer) as prime terroir for distinguished Meunier. A further six villages within a tiny radius account for the rest of the fruit. These are: Moussy and Epernay (situated, like Pierry, on the Coteaux Sud d’Epernay); Dizy, Mardeuil and Boursault in the Vallee de la Marne; and Vertus in the Côte des Blancs. Jean-Marc is a worldly winelover who marries respect for terroir with contemporary open-mindedness. He spent time making fizz in Australia and the U.S. for Chandon at the start of his Pierry quest. Jacquesson, across the way in Dizy, has since been an indelible influence.
