Jean Velut, Champagne, Premier Temps Brut - Half Bottle Cuvee_Les Berangers Trousseau terroir-driven whiteThe Jean Velut estate is located in Montgueux, a village in the Aube department known for its prominent chalk outcroppings, where the family began producing its own champagne in the 1970s.

In the glass, it offers focused notes of citrus, green apple, and white flowers, balanced by a bright, lively texture.
