100% Chardonnay Dosage: 2g/l Vintage cuvée from the single Grand Cru vineyard "Toulette" near Epernay: Grand CruYield: 30 hl/ha.Age of Vines: 50+ yearsNo malolactic fermentationMatured for 8-12 months in 100% in used barriques.The Janisson-Baradon Toulette 2012 is an exceptional single-vineyard Champagne from Épernay in the Champagne region. The grapes come from the historic "Toulette" parcel, which was first planted with Chardonnay in 1947. These old vines yield particularly concentrated and aromatic grapes.This Blanc de Blancs is made entirely from Chardonnay. The base wine is partially aged in oak barrels and does not undergo malolactic fermentation, thus preserving its freshness, structure, and mineral vibrancy.With a very low dosage of approximately 2 g/l (Extra Brut), this vintage Champagne is precise, dry, and terroir-driven. The result is a complex Champagne with intense aromas, a creamy texture, and remarkable length.The Cuvée Toulette is one of the most distinctive single-vineyard champagnes from the Janisson-Baradon house, combining Burgundian depth with the typical elegance of Champagne

Furthermore, citrus fruits (lemon, mandarin), peach and roasted apricots. The aromas on the palate are initially pure and of enormous density, interrupted by a hearty minerality. Then the Chardonnay presents itself with its palette of butter brioche and toast notes, which transition into coffee and chocolate.Nicola OKT23: Terre 12 is a monument! Really strong, the acidity is not as present as in 08, initially a very light touch of honey, but then the beautiful freshness and perfectly integrated acidity fade into the background and culminate in a radiant, sublime finish – wonderful!Tasting FEB20 (About vintage 2010): Extremely complex, perfectly developed, currently still few tertiary aromas (aromas that develop during maturation such as dried fruit, nuts, cocoa, leather, etc.), very lively aromatics, powerful, spice, incredibly sparkling complexity. The freshness bubbles into the brain and provides a reboot!
