Champagne Jean-NOËL Haton Classic
Appellation Champagne
This 4th generation family owned Estate is located in the Marne Valley, 7 kms from Epernay in the town of Damery. They currently own 20 hectares of vineyards and purchase grapes for a volume equal to 75 hectares all over Champagne including Grands Crus and Premiers Crus. They cover about 80 crus including 8 Crus from their own Estates.
Octave Haton founded the House in 1920 in difficult times when the Champagne sales were only performed by a handful of large houses. The turning point in the history of the house took place with the arrival of Jean-Noël. To cope with increased demand for Champagne Haton, the status of “negociant-manipulant” was then adopted in the 70’s. Today, they are part of the top 30 producers of Champagne in volume when they are over 5000 producers covering the appellation.

Tasting note:
Appearance : a golden yellow colour, its fine foam forms an attractive
constant stream of bubbles to offer a beautiful lustre.
Bouquet : the fragrant, fruity bouquet reveals aromas of fresh fruit
(redcurrants and stone fruit). With aeration, notes of citrus fruit and orange zest emerge, punctuated by a touch of dried fruit and flowers. Mouthfeel : the attack is fresh and supple, unveiling a superb structure.
A well-balanced and pleasant finish.
Food pairing:
Enjoy it as an apéritif on its own or with a meal.
