A Terroir Where “Pinot Noir” Is Enriched With a Beautiful “Chardonnay” Finery

The Jean Vesselle vineyard, formerly made up of 15 hectares between Bouzy and Loches sur Ource, is the capital of Pinot Noir. With 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay in Bouzy, the vineyard has gained in richness with the addition of Chardonnay in 2014 from David's grandfather.

This expansion was closely followed by the commitment to the environment, HVE “High Environmental Values” and “sustainable viticulture in Champagne” certified since 2019.

The Champagne Vineyard: A Testament of Quality and Respect for the Environment

A vineyard, spread between Bouzy, Chouilly, and Loches sur Ource, reflects the commitment to quality and respect for the environment. Since 2000, the optimization of tillage has promoted grass cover and eliminated the use of weedkillers.

Committed to renewable energies, the estate has been equipped with photovoltaic panels and a rainwater recovery system since 2007. Each investment is guided by an eco-responsible philosophy.

Winemaking: The Art of Transforming Beautiful Grapes into Good Wines

The vinification of Jean Vesselle champagne is an essential step, ensuring the consistency and quality of the wines. Since 2007, the champagne winemaker has invested in the modernization of its production site, combining quality and respect for the environment. Manual picking is followed by immediate pressing in the two pneumatic presses.

After meticulous settling, fermentations take place in thermoregulated vats, and vinification in wood, initiated in 1995, evolved with the addition of truncated conical tuns in 2013 and 2015. The blends, made with the care of the team, respect the character of the year and the typicality of each vintage.
