Why shop with us?
Jean Josselin Cuvée des Jean NV is a finely crafted Champagne that blends richness, freshness, and serious village-character in equal measure. Made from Pinot Noir parcels in Gyé-sur-Seine and finished with a very low dosage, it offers a more vinous, textured style of Champagne that reflects both the producer’s precision and the quiet prestige of the Côte des Bar.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, refined profile with aromas of pear, white peach, orange peel, and freshly baked bread. The nose is generous but poised, combining ripe fruit with pastry-like depth and a subtle chalky lift.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, layered, and textural, with a broad attack and a soft, almost foamy mousse. The acidity is ripe yet vivid, giving shape to the wine’s richness, while the finish is long and distinctly saline. With its balance and structure, it should hold well over the next few years and may gain even more complexity with short-term cellar time.
Production
This NV Champagne is based on the 2020 vintage and comes from Pinot Noir plots in Gyé-sur-Seine, a village in the Côte des Bar known for producing wines with depth and personality. The low 2.5 g/L dosage highlights the clarity of the fruit and the underlying mineral character, while the January 2025 disgorgement suggests a wine presented with freshness and precision. The vinification appears geared toward texture and vinous weight rather than overt austerity, resulting in a Champagne with both breadth and definition.
Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for seafood with richer textures, such as scallops, lobster, or roast langoustine, as well as sushi, poultry in cream sauce, or aged hard cheeses. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C to best show its layered aromatics and fine mousse. Decanting is not necessary, though allowing a few minutes in the glass can help it open beautifully.
Producer
Jean Josselin is a respected grower-producer in Champagne, rooted in the Côte des Bar, where Pinot Noir plays a central role in the region’s identity. The estate is known for expressive, terroir-driven wines that balance ripe fruit with structure and finesse. Its reputation has grown among Champagne lovers seeking authentic village expressions with both craftsmanship and character.
