J.J. Pessenet

About

A grower-producer based in Reuil, a village in the Vallée de la Marne west of Épernay. Pessenet works primarily with Pinot Meunier — the dominant grape of the Marne Valley — producing wines that are immediately expressive, fruit-forward and generous. The Marne Valley style contrasts sharply with the mineral austerity of the Côte des Blancs, offering rounder, more approachable Champagnes with bright red-fruit character and notable early-drinking appeal.
