Jacquesson Dizy Terres Rouges 2014 champagne is a rare and unparalleled expression from one of Jacquesson's most esteemed vineyards. It embodies a story of elegance and assertive structure from its ‘Pinot Noir’ grapes in every single drop.
The Jacquesson Dizy Terres Rouges 2014 presents a remarkably primary character, evoking crushed ‘Pinot Noir’ fruit alongside notes of pie crust and cookie dough. You’ll also discover nuances of bark and lightly dried fruit, culminating in an impeccable expression of purity. This champagne is full-bodied and layered with a dense palate, yet it remains wonderfully agile and weightless, leading to a long, flavorful dry finish.
This unique champagne originates from the 1.7-hectare “Dizy Terres Rouges” plot, located on a gently sloping, east-facing hillside. The 12,000 vines, planted in 1993 and consistently cordon de Royat pruned, fully reveal the profound richness of the ‘Pinot Noir’ grape variety. It’s this precise attention in the vineyards that dictates the wine’s extraordinary character.
Finally, a zero dosage (0 g/L) ensures an absolutely pure and pristine conclusion, allowing the true expression of the terroir to shine through and unlocking the full potential of these exceptional ‘Pinot Noir’ grapes.
Serve at 8-10 °C with seafood, white meat dishes, mature cheeses with white mould.
Jacquesson Champagne House, founded by Memmie Jacquesson in 1798, stands as one of the very first and historically most significant producers in the Champagne region. Until the mid-19th century, it proudly ranked among the most renowned and finest champagne makers, earning international acclaim. Unfortunately, upon the passing of both of the then-owner's sons, the company's image suffered significantly.
The Chiquet brothers, Jean-Hervé and Laurent, who managed Jacquesson until 2022, when the house was acquired by Artemis, part of the Pinault family, brought Jacquesson back to its former glory. It was the Chiquet brothers who introduced a unique and distinctive approach to champagne production: they began crafting non-vintage Jacquesson champagnes primarily based on a single year's harvest. This method aims to express and convey the specific character of that particular year's vintage, which is quite unusual for the Champagne region (though in recent years, more champagne houses are attempting to follow this path). Their philosophy centers on nurturing nature, carefully selecting grapes, and allowing them to express the authentic character of their terroir.
Jacquesson champagne boasts exceptional balance, being enjoyable both in its youth and when mature, perfectly revealing its vineyard of origin.
While Jacquesson meticulously cultivates its own vineyards, encompassing 32 hectares with a significant portion in Premier Cru and Grand Cru plots, they also openly acknowledge purchasing some grapes from trusted long-term partners. This allows them to maintain the highest quality and reflect the broad spectrum of Champagne's terroir. Among the prestigious areas from which they source grapes are:
One of the greatest advantages of Jacquesson champagne is its style. It allows for enjoyment of the wines in their early youth, immediately after release, savoring their vibrant freshness. The champagne reveals its excellent balance from the outset and possesses the potential to age successfully and evolve over time.
