The cuvee

Jean Josselin - Cuvee des Jean NV

This Champagne was the very first created by Jean Josselin in the 1950s.
Since then, each generation of Jean has continued to produce this 100% Pinot Noir wine from several harvests. The grape stalk designed for this label is an allegory of a family tree. This wine is like a link between all the members of our family.

Why this name “Cuvée des Jean”?
In homage to Jean, founder of Maison Jean Josselin in 1957, this 100% Pinot Noir champagne evokes our family history and the transmission of know-how through the line of "Jean" up to today Jean-Pierre, Jean-Félix (and our grandson Jean, born in July 2012).

The Josselin's opinion
Are you more into weekends in the countryside, large tables with friends, grilled rib of beef and cheese? This fruity, powerful and full-bodied champagne is made for you!

The oenologist's opinion
Made from a selection of Pinot Noir vintages from several years, this champagne is powerful and generous.
Its color is golden yellow. Its nose is flattering with notes of hawthorn, apple and stewed strawberry.
On the palate, it is a mixture of liveliness and vinosity with a lot of fruitiness. The finish is vine peach.
