"A truly outstanding achievement by the winery with this expressive and full-bodied vintage"

“Once again recognized for its excellence, this brut is a blend of equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, is partially aged in oak, and spends five years in the cellar. A full-bodied, robust Champagne with a mineral character and a taut finish, blending citrus freshness with ripe fruit aromas (candied fruit, dried fruit, and marzipan).” (Le Guide Hachette 2025). A full-bodied, rich, and ripe Champagne.

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent 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 that have a distinct character while retaining the region’s characteristic suppleness. A sure bet.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine noted (guide 2025) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Rated Estate: Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

Once again recognized for its excellence, this brut is a blend of equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; it is partially aged in oak and spends five years in the cellar. A full-bodied, rich, and mineral-driven champagne with a crisp finish, it combines citrus freshness with ripe fruit aromas (candied fruit, dried fruit, and marzipan).

About the estate:

Located on the hills above Épernay, this estate—founded in 1922 by a bottle-turner and a cooper—is now run by their descendants, Maxence and Cyril Janisson, with Maxence handling management and Cyril overseeing the vineyards and the cellar. The brothers own more than 9 hectares of vineyards. The estate is HVE-certified.

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau

Wine rated 91/100

Estate rated 1*Star (High-Quality Production)

About the wine:

The abundant foam reveals a rich, pastry-like aroma. On the palate, it is well-ripened, evoking bitter almond, punctuated by salty notes. This mouthwatering, rich cuvée offers a beautiful texture. Save it for creamy dishes such as Vallée d'Auge chicken.

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.
