This wine is very dry and has notes of citrus and toasted brioche bread. It imitates that of which comes from Champagne, and is a great showing what United States sparkling wine can be.
Maison Jussiaume specializes in handcrafted sparkling wine, rigidly following the traditional and demanding Champenoise method of production.
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.
