Maison is the French word for house, and the Maison de Champagne have been producing sparkling wine since the 18th century. Winemaker Jean-Michel Jussiaume inherited his passion for the art and craft of winemaking on his family’s estate in the Loire Valley of FRANCE. In 2005, he arrived in the USA with the dream of sharing these artisanal family traditions, and establishing his own “Maison.” This quest ultimately led to Southern Oregon, where he found grapes uniquely suited for the production of Handcrafted Sparkling Wine.
Maison Jussiame 2018 Blanc de Blanc Brut,Rogue Valley
GGWC 69.99
The Brut Blancs de Blancs 2018 is a handcrafted wine replete with freshness, elegance and complexity. Lovely white blossoms open on the nose, layered with citrus, hints of tropical fruit and a wet stone character. Delightful fruit flavors dance across the palate—green apple, Meyer lemon, a little apricot—delivered with appealing tension and textures. Extremely limited release.
Winemaker Jean-Michel Jussiaume: ”This sparkling wine is produced entirely from Chardonnay sourced from the Del Rio Vineyard. It offers concentrated lemon, grapefruit and pineapple flavors, with a fine bead and impeccable overall balance. This makes an important statement about the potential for Southern Oregon méthode Traditionelle bubbly. It’s exceptional in every way, from the delicate mousse to the aromatics of citrus and clover and into a penetrating palate with terrific length and finesse. The fruitiness of New World sparkling wines is tamped down, and the expressive delicacy and lightly toasty flavors of true Champagne come immediately to mind.”
