"A great success for 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, rich, and mineral-driven Champagne with a taut finish, blending citrus freshness with ripe fruit aromas (candied fruit, dried fruit, and marzipan).” (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

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.

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 ha 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.

A lovely wine and an excellent alternative to big-name Champagnes: it's cheaper, and in my opinion, much better!

A consistent vintage that remains steady from one year to the next. It is often better the following year.
