The Janisson house is located in Verzenay, classified Grand Cru village in the heart of
the Montagne de Reims, on one of the most prestigious terroirs of Champagne. At its
head, Manuel Janisson makes the winegrowing tradition of Janisson prosper, inscribing
it in a contemporary and international dimension. Manuel Janisson skillfully combines
tradition and modernity.
The Wine is clear and brilliant. A light “mango” colour with delicate effervescence and a
discrete stream of bubbles. The initial bouquet reveals wild strawberries, followed by
wild berries, tart, vanilla and then, at a deeper level, spices such as cinnamon and thyme.
A distinct immediate mouthfeel directly followed by a creamy sensation which
overwhelms the palate. Gentle sweetness like light cream with slightly tangy fruit
aromas gives it a certain subtlety. The finish is explosive – litchis and redcurrants with a
strawberry aftertaste.
Blend: 90% Pinot Noir – 10% Chardonnay
