Champagne Jean Josselin
The Jean Josselin Family have been passionate winegrowers since 1854 and in 1957 Champagne Jean Josselin was born. That passion continues today with Jean-Pierre and Jean-Félix, father and son, working together to produce and blend their champagnes. Veronique and Lucile, mother and daughter, are integral to this family affair. Champagne Jean Josselin is situated in the picturesque champagne village of Gyé sur Seine.
Everything about Jean Josselin shows style and sophistication. The presentation of their champagnes is stunning, using frosted bottles for their delicious Blanc de Blancs and Audace Rosé. Not only are these champagnes beautiful to look at, but they taste truly sublime!
The French have a wonderful word “terroir” meaning the earth, the climate, geography, the growing of the vine and the many idiosyncrasies that are associated with the production of exquisite champagne in the vineyard. It is this knowledge with generations of experience and passion that is to be enjoyed in every glass of Jean Josselin’s delightful champagne.
