Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

Located in the hills above Épernay, the Janisson-Baradon estate is run by Richard Janisson and his two sons Maxence and Cyril. The vineyard comprises 9 hectares of slopes surrounding the champagne capital, carefully and attentively tended. The Janissons have cleverly modernized the style of their wines, and this year again, parcel selections dominated the tasting, with champagnes of assertive character that retain the suppleness of the sector. A sure bet.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

About the wine:

Half-white, half-black (pinot noir), this brut includes 30% reserve wines aged in barrels for 5 years in our cellars. It combines liveliness with a beautiful evolved expression (dried fruit and honey).

About the domain :

Located in the hills above Épernay, this estate was founded in 1922 by a winemaker and a cooper, and is now run by their descendants, Maxence and Cyril Janisson, the former in charge of management, the latter in charge of the vineyard and cellar. The brothers have over 9 ha of vines. HVE-certified property.

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau

Rated 91/100

Domaine rated 1*Star (Serious production)

About the wine:

The abundant foam reveals a greedy, pastry-like nose. The ripe palate evokes bitter almond, punctuated by saline notes. This salivating, rich cuvée is full-bodied. Best served with creamy dishes such as Vallée d'Auge chicken.

About the domain :

Founded in 1922 by Georges Baradon, a remueur, and his son-in-law, Maurice Janisson, a cooper, the estate is still run by the Janisson family, who cultivate just over 9 hectares of vines on the western slopes of Épernay, in Chouilly and Brimont. The vineyards have been tilled since 1997, without the use of weedkillers. Most cuvées are a blend of pinot noir and chardonnay, in equal proportions.
