		Champagne Jean Milan (Oger, Champagne) Jean Milan has 5.5 hectares in the heart of the Cote des Blancs, producing 100% Chardonnay, using 100% oak barrels. It is a true family operation with father and brother involved in the vineyards and cellar; mother in the office and daughter doing sales and marketing. The wines have good body, with a lead pencil quality, well-balanced and concertrated, with nuances of grass, fruit and honey. They are truly exquisite wines. The blanc de Blancs champagnes of Jean Milan are entirely Grand Cru from Oger but differ in winemaking treatment and vineyard selection across the range. Like many smaller operations that produce their own wines rather than sell to the Grandes Marques there has beenb a policy of increasing production to maintain future viability. Their output is now about 130,000 bottles per year to ensure that future. This family owned Champagne House sees its niche in marketing to a diverse group of consumers *Jean Milan Brut Millenaire* NV A blend of 04' and 03', and this is by any reckoning exceptional Champagne 10g residual and 4 years on lees, complex and tight with wonderful green apple and mineral fruit Jean Milan Brut Reserve** Thsi is made in old Mersault barriques. It is a blend of 05' and 04' with toasty biscuit - soft/mellow chardonnay fruit.

Chardonnay for lovers of the racy style. Jean Milan Rose 15% is a blend of Pinot Noir and Meunier form the Vallee de la MArne constitutes; the remainder being Chardonnay from Oger. Lovely pink Champagne; dosage is 6 g.l. and it's both delicate and lacy, perfectly lovely to drink and yet profound at the same time.
