BUBBLES / JACQUESSON Champagne Dizy Terres Rouges 2012 75cl

This Champagne Grand Cru signed Jacquesson is made exclusively from old Pinot Noir vines around thirty years old, planted in the place called Terres Rouges, itself located in the commune of Dizy. The 2012 vintage experienced a cold and long winter, spring and early summer were very rainy and there were strong attacks of mildew. But the superb end of the season allowed a harvest of small yield and remarkable quality. The wine was aged for no less than 9 years on lees and disgorging took place in February 2021. This wine exudes all the delicacy of its terroir. The nose of flowers, citrus and white fruits is extremely seductive. The palate combines straightness, the fat of the Pinot Noir coats the chalkiness and minerality of this champagne with a beautiful intensity with some acidic notes. Almost chiselled, the bubbles are fine and the finish is salty. A “terroir Champagne” of great precision.
