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 des Vins Gault & Millau
Wine rated (2013 guide) 14.5/20 (Good)
Estate rated 1*Star (High-quality production)
About the wine:
The nose of this brut opens with panache, revealing notes of verbena, menthol, candied citrus, and chalk. The palate is refined and very taut, with a persistent minerality that adds depth. The superb dosage does not detract from the expression of the terroir. A truly beautiful brut that, above all, expresses its origin!
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.
