One of the four single vineyards that the prestigious Jacquesson, which even captivated Napoleon, only produces in excellent years. The stage is the village of Dizy, on a steep, south-west facing slope near the top of "Dizy Mountain," a mere 1-hectare plot called "Corne Bautray." Chardonnay vines planted in 1960 take root in soil containing clay and millstone (quartzite) gravel, spread over a Campanian chalk layer. It boasts a slightly deeper straw color, renowned for its richness and depth. The aromas of fresh pineapple, candied citrus, and toasted brioche are layered with nuances of licorice and bitter orange. This eloquent bottle, gracing any table, combines creamy bubbles nurtured by nine years of long aging on lees with a tension of minerality.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
A somewhat deep straw color. A rich and complex expression with aromas of fresh pineapple, candied citrus, and toasted brioche, layered with nuances of licorice and bitter orange. It possesses the richness and volume reminiscent of Pinot Noir, derived from clay soils, with a creamy and delicate mousse. The D.T. version undergoes a longer aging period on lees than the regular version, characterized by the coexistence of more developed tertiary aromas (notes of toast, hazelnut, and honey) and remarkably preserved freshness. This is a powerful and long-finishing wine made for the dining table.

Pairing
Grilled lobster
Roasted chicken or guinea fowl
Alpine cheeses such as aged Comté and Beaufort
