It's grown in Gyé-sur-Seine, in the southern Côte des Bar, across about 14 parcels on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone and marl — an ancient seabed that gives the wines power and ripeness. The estate is over 80% Pinot Noir, with vines averaging 30+ years old and some Pinot over 50.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale yellow with fine, creamy bubbles. Mineral and spice lead, with white flower and red-fruit notes behind. It enters almost soft, then builds into a long, structured finish. Pair with monkfish in a peppercorn cream sauce, or anything gingerbread-spiced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full malolactic fermentation, no filtration and no cold stabilisation, so the wine keeps its texture. Finished Extra Brut — 2.5 g\/L in the recent R.22 release — and made by the traditional method with second fermentation in bottle. The estate holds Terra Vitis certification for responsible viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Josselin family bought its first plot in Gyé-sur-Seine in 1854, and Jean Josselin left the local co-op to bottle his own Champagne under the family name in 1957. His son Jean-Pierre took over in 1980, and in 2023 the estate passed to Jean-Pierre's children Lucile and Jean-Félix, an oenologist who joined in 2010. They farm roughly 12 hectares with a focus on biodiversity and soil health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Jean Josselin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50739512344674,"sku":null,"price":103.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/files\/JeanJosselin-Contexture.png?v=1792738557","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/champagne-jean-josselin-contexture-extra-brut-nv","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
