THREE GENERATION

HENRI SÉLÈQUE

Henri SELEQUE, Jean-Marc's grandfather, a native of Poland, arrived with his father in in 1925. Later he ran a farm with his wife Francoise Bagnost for many years. His son Richard, wanted to get involved in wine, so he planted new vineyards in and Moussy in 1965. He sold his first bottles in 1969 thanks to the cooperative of Pierry, whose president is none other than his father-in-law Jean Bagnost. RICHARD SÉLÈQUE

Richard SELEQUE, Jean-Marc's father began producing his own in the 1970s. He outfitted his operation with a press, tanks, barrels, etc. Wishing to master all the stages of champagne production, he even bought his own bottling and disgorging production line. He is a true technician who still today brings all his expertise to the

JEAN-MARC SÉLÈQUE THE WINERY Jean-Marc SELEQUE arrived to the property in 2008, and took over vinification. He has since shifted viticultural practices towards a more precise expression of terroir. His approach to wine is constantly evol- ving while maintaining a spirit of authenticity. In 2015, with his wife, Oriane SELEQUE, they built a new winery in Pierry.

OUR PHILOSOPHY VINEYARD

To make a great wine, first you have to make great grapes! Our work in the vineyard is essential. We believe in certain principles to produce high quality grapes that will be the most natural expression of their terroir: - Our soils are managed in order to respect the underground life, the plowing is limited and the herbicides totally proscribed. We prefer to let the grass grow naturally. - Year after year, we favorise manual work, or with the help of the horse, to be closer to the plant and feel the rhythms that Nature give us. - We apply sustainable protection against diseases, to preserve the ecosys- tem around the plant and provide preventive care to promote self-defense. - Finally we take the full measure of the work done in the vintage, and the complexity of the climate, to pick the grapes at the best maturity. CELLAR For a great wine, you must then respect the fruit of the vine: / THE STYLE / THE MUSIC / FIND US FIND / MUSIC THE STYLETHE / / PHILOSOPHY THE - Our grapes are quickly transported to the press in refrigerated truck. The pressing occures then slowly by gravity. - The juices are separated by grapes variety and plots respecting their identities. They are manipulated as little as possible and start their fermen-

There is no fining or filtration, and we limit wine transfers. We age wines at their own pace and balance. OUR STYLE

Music is an integral part of our life and the life of the winery. It is a cornerstone of our processing things in both the vineyard and the cellar. Understand the different rhythms of nature. Adapt to climate tempo. Be attentive to the musical variations of the year. Master all instruments we own. Practice a lot and start again. Be concentrated when the harvest concert takes place. Choose the right style, Rock, Jazz, Blues, Classic, .... So that each wine is expressed in harmony. Propose a score and play it in front of you with passion.
