This Christmas impress your friends with a superb gift :
Janisson Baradon Brut Tradition NV at £18.95
Made by a small champagne house, Janisson-Baradon, located in Montagne de Reims a wooded plateau based between Epernay and Reims. The wines are produced with a focus on natural methods, meaning the abandonment of both herbicides and pesticides.
Their vinification style is a mix of steel and wood with malolactic fermentation. All the wines are characterized by long lees ageing and 6 months minimum resting period between disgorgement and release.
The blend is a 50% Pinot Noir, an attractive 40% Chardonnay and 10% Meunier. The reserve wines are aged in oak giving richness and body but the low dosage (7g) maintains the freshness and acidity.
This is a light yellow, almost straw colour. Big nose of white flowers aromas with a gorgeous mousse on top. Stout and sharp mouth all at once. Pleasant and decorated with a fruity flavour coating the mouth. A quality unbeatable at this price.
Cheers !
