Jean Josselin - Aux Origines 2018

This 100% vintage Pinot Noir is illustrated by the root system of a vine, evoking the notion of origin and provenance of the first champagnes created by Jean Josselin. These roots also evoke the importance of respecting the soil so that the latter can dive deep, towards the bedrock.

Historical
It owes its name to the creator of the House: Jean Josselin. Royal, it certainly was for him.

• Philosophy : Precise and reasoned viticulture respecting the soil, the vine, biodiversity and people (TERRA VITIS label), harvest at full maturity and plot-by-plot vinification
• Terroir : Côte des Bar, Gyé-sur-Seine, clay-limestone soil on Kimmeridgian calcareous marl
• Cultivation : Natural grassing and plowing of the soil. Prophylactic measures (careful pruning, disbudding, leaf removal, careful training)
• Grape variety : 100% Pinot Noir - Mature after aging for 3 years.
• Vinification : Lieu-dit "Comelle Navier". Pressed on traditional Coquard. Low temperature alcoholic fermentation 13°C (homemade yeast S. Bayanus) and indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation carried out. Aged on lees until June. Unfiltered wine and not cold-aged (a slight deposit may form over time, a sign of a living wine)
• Draw : 07/25/2019
• Dosage : 2.2 g/l - Extra-brut
• Organoleptic analysis : Golden yellow color. Powerful and complex nose revealing a mature wine. Dominant tertiary aromas with notes of brioche, honey, biscuit, cooked pear and a touch of cinnamon and liquorice. Fleshy in the mouth with a lot of presence, a perfect balance.
• Food/wine pairing : Turkey with chestnuts or scallops on truffled polenta.

The Josselin's opinion
This is a champagne reserved for lovers of mature wines. It will perfectly accompany rich and tasty dishes: foie gras, brown poultry and other richly prepared dishes.

The oenologist's opinion
Its color is golden yellow, its powerful and complex nose reveals a mature wine where tertiary aromas dominate with notes of brioche, butter, honey, biscuit, cooked pear and a touch of cinnamon and liquorice.
