Product Description

50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir
The Janisson Baradon et Fils "Brut Selection" non-vintage bottling is a fifty-fifty blend of pinot noir and chardonnay, with thirty percent of the blend comprised of reserve wines. The current release is from the base year of 2012, was aged sur latte for three years and was finished off with a dosage of five grams per liter. The vins clairs are raised in a combination of stainless steel and older Burgundy casks, with everything going through malo for this bottling. The wine offers up a complex bouquet of peach, orange zest, plenty of smokiness, warm biscuits, lovely soil tones and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and nicely balanced, with a good core, slightly larger bubbles and good length and grip on the vibrant finish. Other than slightly coarser mousse, this is exemplary non-vintage Brut, with depth and complexity derived from a nice touch of leesiness. I really like the backend bounce here. 20162025. 90/100
