Jacquesson : Dizy Corne Bautray 2008



The 2008 Extra Brut Premier Cru Dizy - Corne Bautray is showing brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with a youthful bouquet of citrus oil, clear honey, preserved rhubarb and subtle hints of fresh pastry. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with an incisive spine of acidity, considerable concentration and a long, reverberating finish.

Jacquesson : Dizy Corne Bautray 2008

The 2008 Extra Brut Premier Cru Dizy - Corne Bautray is showing brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with a youthful bouquet of citrus oil, clear honey, preserved rhubarb and subtle hints of fresh pastry.

History

Founded in 1778 Champagne Jacquesson now managed by Chiquet family who own 51%. House is located in Dizy in the Marne Valley.
Main 28ha holdings are in Grande Vallée de la Marne and in the Côte des Blancs. Since early 2000s Chiquet brothers strategically focused on 1er Cru and Grand Cru vineyards only and sold out the rest. They have also been reducing their yields to get a better quality of the fruits. Annual production is about 260K bottles now.



Jacquesson still buy up to 20% of the grapes, but only from the trusted neighbors — long time suppliers who meet the required standards. All fruits are pressed at the Domaine cellar.



2 old presses: one for red grapes and one for Chardonnay. Keep only cuvee and tailles are either sold out or used to season new oak barrels. Freshly pressed juice streams down by the gravity to the cellar. All wines are vinified separately in oak barrels of different sizes. Full malo, long vinification and late bottling. Jacquesson also use weekly batonnage for couple of months to enrich their wines and give them more texture. Minimum interventions — no cold stabilisation, no filtering, no fining, clarification happens naturally. Dosage is minimal. 



Jacquesson philosophy — instead of repeating house style year to another year with NV they introduced single-vintage-based cuvée, which changes yearly.
Each 700 cuvée has up to 30% of reserve wines, which are in fact 5 previous releases of 700. This makes it sort of a perpetum model as each 700 contains fractions of all previous releases all the way back to the 1st Cuvée 728 based on 2000 vintage.



Portfolio is very simple: 1 blend and 4 single vineyard wines. Blend is released twice. 1st after 4 years spent on lees and late disgorged DT with double aging.

Jacquesson is the member of Trait-d-Union Champagnes association together with ROGER COULON, EGLY-OURIET, LARMANDIER BERNIER and JACQUES SELOSSE.
