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 hillside vineyards 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.

Wine rated 90/100
Estate rated 1*Star (High-Quality Production)
About the wine:
Fine, abundant mousse. The bubbles are also fine, and the nose—subtle and delicate—reveals notes of white flowers. Light on the palate, with a very soft attack that reveals delicate chalky notes. Well-balanced dosage and a very smooth finish. Ideal as an aperitif.
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 tilling since 1997, without the use of any herbicides. Most of the cuvées are a blend of equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Review and comment by Mr. CHRISTIAN G. Posted on March 31, 2025
We were rather disappointed by this vintage. While the bubbles are fine and the color is a gorgeous gold, it lacks vigor on the palate, and the finish is disappointing, with a slight, unpleasant bitterness.

A wine that’s still just as enjoyable as an aperitif, with light fruity notes and fine bubbles. Unbeatable value for the price.

Review by Mr. DIDIER P. Published on June 11, 2018
Light color, fine bubbles. A subtle, refined style. Aroma of white flowers with a hint of vanilla and a touch of spice. Frankly dry on the palate, with pleasant freshness, but no opulence. Pleasant finish, nothing more. Best enjoyed as an aperitif. My rating = 6.5/10
