Champagne Menu du Jour Lunch at Restaurant Chez Bellou in Gyé-sur-Seine, Champagne - From Lyon to Paris: Total Immersion in Burgundy and Champagne 2023 by ombiasy WineTours

we visited Champagne Jean Josselin in Gyé-sur-Seine. We first went over to the modern production facilities of Champagne Jean Josselin, then to the old cellar and finally to the tasting room for a tasting of the portfolio. Owner Jean Pierre Josselin and Export Manager Sharona Tsubota were our hosts.

Champagne Jean Josselin in Gyé-sur-Seine, Côte des Bar, Champagne

The Josselin family has been growing grapes since 1854 in Gyé-sur-Seine in the Côte des Bar, located 150 km south of Epernay and 200 km south of Reims and crossed by two rivers: the Seine and the Aube.

The Côte des Bar became part of the official Champagne region in the early 1900s. 

In 1957 Jean Josselin decided to create his own brand: ‘Champagne Jean Josselin’. Champagne Jean Josselin is a typical so called ‘grower Champagne’. The entire operation is managed by the family. Jean Pierre Josselin and son Jean Félix tend to the vines and take care of the vinification and Veronique Josselin does sales and marketing. They hired an American Sharona Tsubota to get into the American market. The Champagne house Jean Josselin produces about 100,000 bottles per year depending on the vintage. 

We got a fabulous introduction to the steps it takes to produce a top-notch Champagne.
