This powerful wine was named after the creator of House of Jean Josselin—Cordon Royal. It has a golden yellow color with a powerful and complex nose of brioche, butter, honey, biscuit, baked pear and cinnamon. It has a full-bodied palate and a lingering, satisfying finish.
The Josselin family have been winegrowers for generations, acquiring their first vineyard in 1854 on the land abutting Gyé sur Seine, a champagne village crossed by the Seine river.
Made with fruit selected from the best vineyards. The grapes are harvested by hand and pressed in whole clusters. After a 24 hour resting period, alcoholic fermentation occurs and complete malolactic fermentation is done followed by three extractions over the next 3-4 months.
Pairs well with foie gras or poultry with a rich sauce or roux.
