Cuvée des Jean Extra-Brut
History
Why the name "Cuvée des Jean"?
In honor of Jean, the founder of Champagne Jean Josselin in 1957.
This champagne of 100% Pinot Noir evokes the family history, and the transmission of know-how along the line of "Jean"s, even up to today: Jean-Pierre, Jean-Félix (and our grandson Jean, born in July 2012).
Composition
100% Pinot Noir
This wine is a blend of two or even three harvests, which gives it the quality and consistency for which it is renowned.

The Winemaker's Notes
Made from a selection of wines from several years' Pinot Noir harvests, this champagne is powerful and generous.
It is yellow gold in color. Its nose is seductive with hints of hawthorn, apple and strawberry compote.
In the mouth it is a mixture of liveliness and vinosity, very fruity, with a finish of peaches.
