Champagne Jean de Villaré
Their Grande Réserve Brut is a blend representative of the region, with a strong Pinot Meunier dominance and much finesse from the 35% Chardonnay in the blend.
Viticulture
Vineyards are located along the banks of the River Marne in the Vallée de la Marne, a region famed for exceptional Pinot Meunier. Clay, marl and sandy soils provide ideal conditions, with Baron‑Fuente controlling 100% of their own grape supply to ensure quality and consistency.
Winemaking
Fermentations generally occur spontaneously using a mix of oak casks, wooden vats and stainless steel, followed by extended lees ageing and gentle bâtonnage. The wines age for around three years in bottle before disgorgement, delivering complexity, balance and finesse.
Highlights
- Vallée de la Marne Champagne led by Pinot Meunier for richness, charm and approachability.
- Extended lees ageing delivers creamy texture, balance and crowd‑pleasing finesse.
