Dizy Terres Rouges 2012

The Terres Rouges is the Pinot Noir among Jacquesson's single-vineyard wines. The vines in Dizy were planted in 1993: 12,000 vines on 1.33 hectares. Bottled as a blanc de noirs and Extra Brut, the 2012 vintage carries the signature of a year with low yields and remarkable quality. With only 2,572 bottles it is a real rarity and comes in a gift box.

In the glass it surprises with plenty of vinosity. The low dosage leaves room for the Pinot Noir substance, and the style is powerful yet finely drawn. It deserves a place at the table, for example with veal sweetbreads, poultry with mushrooms or aged hard cheese. Pour it at 10 to 12 °C in a white wine glass with a wide bowl, so the fullness can develop.
