Jean Vesselle Champagne Brut Reserve, N/V

An early renegade “récoltant” alongside Anselme Selosse and François Peters, Jean Vesselle first bottled Champagne under his own label in 1972. With 300+ years of family history growing grapes in Grand Cru Bouzy, Jean was also an early adopter of the possibilities of the Aube, purchasing vines in Loches-sur-Ource in the 1970s. Jean’s daughter Delphine took over the reins in 1993, and today awaits organic certification with careful farming and a deep love for this special land. Made from predominantly Pinot Noir, this hand-harvested cuvée reflects the typical chalky soils of the Montagne de Reim and Delphine’s special hand for making the very oldest-school of special grower Champagne. All wrapped up in a most classic package, this bit of luxury deserves your table as much as you deserve to indulge.

Blend: 80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay

A perfect pairing for Thanksgiving.
