One of the rising stars of Champagne, Jean-Marc Sélèque was talking to me about his vineyards and wines, his Polish origins, convincing his family that investing in the vineyards and a new winery are justifiable long term decisions, the uniqueness of the Coteaux Sud D’Epernay and what is behind his winemaking philosophy.
In the case of Jean Marc Sélèque, it wasn’t only his bank account he was responsible for when taking control of his winery in 2008, it was the entire family’s.
Soon enough he realised that a few pairs of keen eyes were scrutinising every move in the new winery’s balance sheet. He was drawn to biodynamism and quality grapes and they (the family…) were interested in profits, now. Talking of pressure!
