Media Reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

A blend of 53% Chardonnay and 47% Pinot Noir, undergoing 100% malo-lactic and aged for 24 months on lees, the NV Jansz Cuvee Non Vintage Cuvee has a citrusy nose of lemongrass and orange peel over notes of baking bread, straw and chalk dust. This brut style has fine, frisky bubbles and crisp acid that is nicely matched against a small amount of dosage (9 grams per liter), finishing long and zesty. 89 points

Josh Raynolds

(58% chardonnay, 40% pinot noir and 2% pinot meunier): Light yellow-gold. Apple, melon and lemon on the fragrant, spice-accented nose. Fresh and lithe, with good energy to its citrus and orchard fruit flavors. Brisk, linear and precise, with finishing punch and lingering citrus notes. 89 points
