Notes: Gault Millau 16.5/20, RVF 14/20
“You have to dare to make a non-dosé wine—and, above all, pull it off. A passing fad for some, true mastery for Janisson; the fruit must be very ripe, with natural richness and a certain density to balance the mineral, even citrus, notes, which can sometimes be striking. A major success with this taut yet full-bodied cuvée.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more conventional and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Located on the hills above Épernay, the Janisson-Baradon estate is run by Richard Janisson and his two sons, Maxence and Cyril. The vineyard comprises 9 hectares of hillsides surrounding the Champagne capital, tended with care and attention. The Janissons have intelligently modernized the style of their wines, and once again this year, the single-vineyard selections stood out during the tasting, with champagnes of assertive character that retain the region’s characteristic suppleness. A sure bet.

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Rated 1*Star (High-quality production)
About the estate:
Founded in 1922 by Georges Baradon, a wine-stirrer, and his son-in-law, Maurice Janisson, a cooper, the estate is still run by the Janisson family, who cultivate just over 9 hectares of vineyards on the western slopes of Épernay, in Chouilly and Brimont. The vineyard has been maintained through soil cultivation since 1997, without the use of any herbicides. Most of the vintages are a blend of equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
