Champagne Joannès Lioté is the union of two proud winegrowing families with a deep love for their land. The Lioté family cultivated vines for generations in the village of Boursault, while Emile Joannès was crafting his own Champagne nearby. Over time, their stories merged through family ties and a deep commitment to winemaking. As is often the tradition in Champagne, a family estate was born through marriage and the blending of two names: Champagne Joannès Lioté.
About This Wine
Crafted exclusively from Chardonnay, this Blanc de Blancs by Champagne Joannès Lioté captures purity, finesse, and graceful structure. Its robe is a delicate pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles, setting the stage for an aromatic profile that combines candied lemon, lychee, fresh verbena, and almond with layers of white flowers like hawthorn and jasmine. Citrus fruits such as grapefruit and lemon mingle with tropical notes of pineapple, creating a bright and exotic bouquet. On the palate, the wine is elegant and layered, offering citrus lift, orchard fruit richness, and a subtle chalky minerality. As it matures, it develops deeper notes of dried fruits and toasted hazelnuts, along with a creamy, velvety texture. A refined and harmonious Champagne that evolves beautifully over time.
