    The Essentials “My name is Maxence Janisson; I am moved to be able to present here, in this catalog, my first Champagne produced.” “Previously, I worked with my brother for the house Janisson-Baradon. Because of a difference in viewpoints, I decided to become independent by creating my own personal brand.” His wine idea is equally spare: “My idea about wines is very simple and direct: I seek the absolute identity of place, one wine per parcel, as the Burgundian tradition teaches.” He also says, “I like wines of freshness and minerality, built on tension and floral freshness.”
