Jean Josselin - Les Blancs 2019

The illustration chosen for this Champagne is a calcareous marl typical of our subsoils. It is this sedimentary rock that gives all the minerality and salinity to our wines and more particularly in this 100% vintage Chardonnay champagne.

Historical
Charm and intelligence, traits of wit that suit this vintage full of elegance, finesse and vivacity.

• 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% Chardonnay
• Vinification : Lieu-dit "Lavrivaux" 15% - Lieu-dit "Davasgné" 85%. 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 : 07/23/2020
• Dosage : 2.2 g/l - Extra-brut
• Organoleptic analysis : Bright light yellow color with subtle green highlights. Fine, active bubbles forming a persistent bead. Complex, intense and qualitative nose with notes of apricot, grilled almonds, spices, butter with a mineral hint. Fruity (peach, pear) and spicy notes for a tasty and harmonious whole.
• Food/wine pairing : Aperitif, tuna bites with coriander

The Josselin's opinion
This is a Champagne whose aging potential goes beyond 5 years, thanks to its beautiful freshness, a sign of longevity. It is a Champagne of spirit.

The oenologist's opinion
Its color is pale yellow with green-gold highlights. On the nose, it is very delicate, with a dominant floral, mint, lime blossom, acacia, lemon and pear.
The palate is frank and clean, its liveliness is mixed with a slight vinosity.
