About this Wine

As well as its outstanding 700-series wines, Champagne Jacquesson also produces tiny quantities of four single-vineyard wines. These Champagnes demonstrate an extraordinary vinosity and showcase our finest terroirs, expressing their typicity and an innate sense of place. These single-vineyard wines are not necessarily produced every year. Indeed, the quality of the vintage must allow the full expression of the character of each terroir. Given that the Cuvée 700 takes priority, they are only bottled if they cannot improve the quality of the base wine for the Cuvée 700. The Corne Bautray plot in the premier cru village of Dizy is situated on the top of a steep slope with a south-west exposure. Clayey soil laden with flinty gravel on Campanian chalk. 9,000 Chardonnay vines were planted in 1960 on this 1-hectare plot and are pruned in the Chablis method.

2014: Winter was wet and particularly mild. After a hot and dry spring, July and August were cool and very wet. A hot, dry and sunny September saved the vintage. The balance between alcohol and acidity was excellent, and the crop was relatively healthy, though some sorting was required upon picking.

Wines from Champagne

Associated with luxury, celebration, Champagne is where the world’s most prized sparkling wine originates. In the past it was very common for people to confuse the term Champagne and sparkling wine as they are so synonymous. By EU law however, only sparkling wine made in the Champagne region and under strict quality standards can legally be called by that name.

Sparkling wine produced the Champagne way, goes through secondary fermentation in the bottle. This is known as méthode champenoise or outside of Champagne it is called the traditional method. When the yeast inside the bottle have finished working, they die and become lees. The lees remain in contact with the wine until the winemaker decides to take them out, creating texture, richness, and complexity in the wine.

In comparison, the other popular way of fermenting sparkling wine is called the Charmat method where the fermentation happens en masse in a large tank and extended lees contact does not happen. . This is cheaper and rather than emphasizing richness and complexity, the tank method enhances clean fruit and aromatics, making wines that are youthful and easy drinking.

The principal grapes that go into making champagne include: Chardonnay (white), Pinot Noir (red) and Pinot Meunier (red). A Champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay will be labelled Blanc de blancs while ones comprised of only red grapes will be called Blanc de noirs. Whether it be white or rose however, most Champagne is made from a mix of both red and white grapes.
