CHAMPAGNE JEAN JOSSELIN

A Rich Family Heritage

Jean Josselin is a proudly independent, family-run Champagne house based in the village of Gyé-sur-Seine, in the heart of the Côte des Bar. The domaine was founded in 1957 by Jean Josselin, who left the local co-operative to produce and bottle his own Champagne—a bold move at the time. Today, the domaine is helmed by Jean-Pierre and his son Jean-Félix, the third generation. Together, they bring a blend of experience and fresh perspective to the business, with a focus on quality, sustainability, and authenticity.

Their Champagnes reflect a deep respect for tradition, while remaining open to innovation. With each generation, the Josselin family has built on the last—deepening the connection between the land, the vines, and the people behind the wine.

Gyé-sur-Seine, Côte des Bar

The vineyards span 14 parcels planted across the rolling limestone-clay hills of small village of Gyé-sur-Seine.

This is Pinot Noir country and over 80% of the family’s 11.7 hectares are planted to this noble grape. The remainder is Chardonnay and a small amount of Meunier, used for balance and texture.

GROWN FROM AN ANCIENT SEABED

Kimmeridgian soils

Soils rich in clay, with marl and fossilised marine sediments offer a different kind of mineral backbone, contributing power and ripeness to the wines. Jean Josselin’s Champagnes embody the best of the Côte des Bar: generous fruit, precision winemaking, and a true sense of place.

WELL-ESTABLISHED VINES

Where roots run deep

Vine age varies between parcels and averages over 30 years, but some of the oldest Pinot Noir vines—dating back over 50 years—contribute complexity and depth to the house’s flagship wines.
