Champagne JACQUESSON - Dizy Corne Bautray 2012
The Jacquesson Champagne House is located in Dizy in the Marne Valley , in Champagne . Its history dates back to 1978, when the Chiquet family bought the brand and transferred it to their family estate. In 1988, Jean-Hervé and Laurent Chiquet took over and have since overseen a rapid rise to prominence when Jacquesson was ranked third best of all Houses after Bollinger and Krug. The vineyard is located in two distinct regions: the Grand Cru of Aÿ and two Premiers Crus in Dizy and Hautvillers in the Marne Valley and two Grands Crus in the Côte des Blancs in Avize and Oiry . Jacquesson wines come from 80% of their vineyards, certified organic since 2010.

The wine comes from the 2012 harvest , vinified and aged on lees in oak barrels before being disgorged in March 2021. It is not dosed .
