Vintage Character Champagne Pajon Selosse Brut Millésime 2018 is a vintage Brut Champagne from Chavot-Courcourt in the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay, a grower expression that blends Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The 2018 season in Champagne was notably warm and generous, delivering ripe fruit with impressive balance, and in the right hands it produced wines of both immediacy and structure. Here, the clay-limestone soils of this southern Épernay sector help preserve freshness and mineral tension, giving the wine a poised, terroir-marked profile beneath its generous fruit.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, expect green apple, white peach and preserved lemon layered with white flowers, toasted brioche and roasted almond. The palate is energetic yet rounded, with a fine mousse, bright acidity and a chalky core that carries the flavors toward a clean, persistent finish touched by pastry cream and subtle ginger. Its combination of ripeness and precision makes it especially versatile at the table: try it with oysters and lemon, roast chicken with herbs, or tempura prawns.
Winery Background Champagne Pajon-Selosse is a small family-run grower estate in the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay, shaped by an artisanal philosophy and close attention to individual vineyard parcels. The house is associated with meticulous, sustainable viticulture and a minimal-intervention mindset that seeks to let each harvest speak clearly. Fermentation and élevage are handled with restraint to preserve site character, while extended lees aging builds texture and complexity in the traditional Champagne method. For collectors who value small-production grower Champagne, this bottling stands out for its authenticity, precision and strong sense of origin.
