Like Pierre Paillard, Jean Vesselle is a small, family-run, Champagne estate in the village of Bouzy. As expected in Bouzy, the wines rely mainly on Pinot Noir (80%) with a little Chardonnay for cut and complexity. Very traditional winemaking here including nearly 3 years on the lees in bottle. A smoky, toasty nose shows of hints of strawberry, pear, and spice. Then fresh and very pure in the mouth with red berry fruit, spice, and plenty of toast, biscuit, and brioche. Very long and energetic on the finish, this is delicious to just drink but will work beautifully at table with lighter fish or poultry dishes.

While the review is for a previous release, Steve Tanzer's assessment is spot on for this release as well!
"Light, amber-tinged red; nothing pink about this. Deep cherry and dark berry aromas are initially brooding, then open slowly to offer spicy blood orange and violet qualities. Fleshy, lightly sweet blackberry and candied cherry flavors stain the palate and are complicated by floral pastille and bitter chocolate notes. A singular, fascinating Champagne that could handle rich red meat dishes or the richest, funkiest cheeses with ease. This has more depth and power than many red Burgundies."International Wine Cellar 92 points

"Light red with a frothy mousse. Cranberry, redcurrant and wild strawberry on the nose, with cherry skin and dark chocolate adding complexity. This smells like a Kir Royale mixed by Dali, or maybe Magritte. The expression of red fruits is remarkable for its depth and purity. Creamy red berry and cherry preserve flavors are firmed by gentle acidity and pick up an exotic floral quality on the back end. Finishes with excellent clarity and great persistence. I'd serve this as I would a light, exuberant red Burgundy."International Wine Cellar 93 points
