Champagne Jacquesson - Champagne - Aÿ Vauzelle Terme DT - Blanc - 2004

Wine:

The 2004 Jacquesson Aÿ Vauzelle Terme DT is based on the original wine, with a late disgorgement (D.T.) of 16 years on laths instead of 8, to refine it even further. The aim is to give the wine a natural patina, all patiently aged in the Jacquesson cellars. The ripeness of the grapes and the balance of the wine are exemplary, the result of a quest for perfection. No other house has reached this level. It's the ultimate rarity, with 187 bottles produced, disgorged in March 2021 and of course always without dosage to offer purity and freshness. A wine rated 98/100 by our Committee.

Vinification:

Hand harvested on October 1, 2004. Vineyard: 2,500 pinot noir vines planted on 30 ares in 1980. Vinification in 20 hl tuns, stirring of the lees, total malolactic fermentation, 2 rackings before unfiltered bottling on May 13, 2005, 16 years on lees before disgorging in March 2021. No dosage, Extra Brut. Production of 187 bottles and 24 magnums.

The Jacquesson Champagne House embodies the most brilliant success story in the Champagne region and the most spectacular ascent of the last twenty years. Jacquesson is definitely in the hearts of the great purists of Champagne wines, on the podium of the greatest champagnes ever. Unquestionably!

A distinctive style, vinification in oak barrels, pampered terroirs, and a production that, unfortunately for us and for you, is very limited. This success is the secret of the Chiquet brothers, who have brought this Champagne house to the highest standards of excellence.

Today, Artemis Domaines (Clos de Tart, Château Latour, Château Grillet...) didn't invest in this estate by chance, and keeps the Chiquet family at the helm, from the biodynamic viticulture to the marketing of each bottle, making each wine the epitome of grace.

The amicable relationship between our sommeliers and this house over so many years enables us to offer you access to the most intimate and exquisite wines from this venerable Dizy estate.
