Dizy Corne Bautray 2005

The Dizy Corne Bautray 2005 from Jacquesson comes from a single parcel in Dizy planted only with Premier Cru Chardonnay. It is a blanc de blancs without dosage and shows what this site achieves in a great vintage. With no added sugar the wine stays precise and direct. Only 4,912 bottles were made, so sales are limited to two bottles per customer.

Power and a long finish make it the companion for a great meal. It pairs well with fine fish, shellfish, veal or poultry with a not too heavy sauce. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a large white wine glass, where aromas and structure can unfold. A decanter is not necessary, but some time in the glass is worthwhile. The bottles are offered in a gift box, which also makes the champagne suitable as a present.
