Dizy Terres Rouges 2013

Same plot, different year: the Terres Rouges 2013 comes from the Pinot Noir vineyard in Dizy that Jacquesson planted in 1993 on 1.33 hectares with 12,000 vines. A blanc de noirs with an extra brut dosage, it shows a vintage that ripened late yet turned out very well. At 10,512 bottles the production is larger than for the 2012, but still small for a single-vineyard wine. It comes in a gift box.

In the glass it impresses with its pronounced vinosity. The sparing dosage keeps it taut and lets the Pinot Noir fruit come through clearly. It is a champagne for the table: poultry, veal or dishes with mushrooms all suit it. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a large white wine glass.
