Champagne Jean Josselin
Audace Rosé R.21

The Champagne Audace Rosé R. by Jean Josselin is a signature rosé, an authentic expression of the Gyé-sur-Seine terroirin the Côte des Bar, and the result of precise viticulture that respects nature, biodiversity, and people. The Maison follows a sustainable approach, certified Terra Vitis, based on thoughtful agricultural practices such as natural grassing, soil cultivation, and targeted vineyard management techniques including gentle pruning, thinning, leaf removal, and careful trellising.

The cuvée comes from the 2021 harvest, using 100% Pinot Noir grapes sourced from the lieux-dits “Beauregard” and “Villiers Derrière”. The vineyards are rooted in clay-limestone soils rich in Kimmeridgian marl, which impart the wine’s distinctive mineral and saline character, typical of the finest Champagnes from this area.

Vinification is traditional and artisanal, with a gentle maceration of around 30 hours. The wine undergoes no fining or filtration, in order to preserve its natural identity. It then ages on the lees for at least 24 months, before receiving a final dosage of just 2.5 g/l (Extra Brut).

Audace Rosé R. is a Champagne Rosé with great personality and freshness, combining precision, finesse, and authenticity. Ideal for those who appreciate a gastronomic and elegant rosé, deeply rooted in its terroir.

Champagne Jean Josselin

Winemakers for generations, the Josselin family purchased their first vineyard in 1854 on the land of Gyé-sur-Seine, a village in the Barséquanais, in the Côte des Bar. In 1957 Jean Josselin created his own brand and began producing Champagne: thus the Champagne Jean Josselin. Since 1980 the Domaine has been in the hands of Jean-Pierre, son of Jean Josselin, and since 2010 Jean-Félix Josselin, the latest generation, has also joined the family management. The vineyards are located on the lands of Gyé-sur-Seine, Neuville-sur-Seine and Essoyes and are cultivated in the three classic varieties with a prevalence of Pinot Noir compared to Meunier and Chardonnay. The vineyards are divided into 14 parcels which benefit from different exposures giving typicality, aromatic richness of the bunches and multiple expressions in the wines; while the terroir is predominantly clay-limestone and produces rich and elegant Champagnes. Respect for the land and care in the management of the vineyard are the basis of the work of the Domaine, furthermore, the proximity to paths, woods and valleys ensure the balance and development of the ecosystem and biodiversity.The parcel vinification is done in stainless steel tanks and allows the characteristics of each to be preserved, creating subsequent harmonious blends. The aging on the yeasts is at least 24 months.
