The Story
In an appellation dominated by grand marques and worldwide brands, Manuel has quietly been developing his operation Janisson et Fils, located in the Grand Cru village of Verzenay.
Manuel’s family have produced Champagne from grapes grown on these same 7 hectares of land since 1923 and during his period in charge of the estate, he has brought about a fantastic rise in quality.
The brand new state-of-the-art winery, used by Manuel and his team, is home to a marriage of cutting-edge modern winemaking techniques and tried and tested traditional methods such fermentation in wooden barrels and “lutte raisonnée" in his viticulture.
Due to the very small amount of grapes Janisson produce, they concentrate on solely two varietals; Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Brut Tradition is 70% Pinot Noir.
Probably the best cuvée of Janisson made exclusively of Pinot Noir grapes from the family owned Grand Cru vineyards in Verzenay. A complex and opulent champagne with notes of brioche and honey,a textured palate of yellow, fleshy stone fruits lingering finish of citrus and minerals.
