Tasting Notes
The 2014 Champagne Jacquesson Dizy Terres Rouges is a deeply expressive Blanc de Noirs, offering a vibrant and complex aromatic profile. Wild strawberry, raspberry, and red currant lead the bouquet, joined by rose petals, orange zest, crushed Pinot Noir fruit, and nuances of star anise, dried flowers, mint, and faint dried-fruit or bark undertones. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet remarkably agile, delivering layers of fresh red berries, brioche, mint, spice, and a subtle touch of tobacco or pie crust. Its refined texture and clean, precise minerality are lifted by crisp, energetic acidity that drives the wine from start to finish. The finale is long, dry, and intensely flavourful, showcasing both the depth and the vibrancy characteristic of this single-vineyard cuvée.
More About The Winery
Founded in the 18th century, Champagne Jacquesson is today a beacon of modernity under the visionary leadership of Laurent and Jean-Hervé Chiquet. Rejecting chemical herbicides and the traditional pursuit of a fixed “house style,” the brothers revolutionized Champagne with their “700 Series” cuvées—each numbered release reflecting the unique character of a single vintage, starting with Cuvée 728 in 2000.
The result is Champagne of purity, minerality, and transparency, consistently acclaimed by critics such as Peter Liem, who calls the wines “among the best non-vintage bruts on the market.”
Alongside the 700 Series, Jacquesson also crafts tiny-production, single-vineyard Champagnes—including Champ Caïn, Corne Bautray, Vauzelle Terme, and Terres Rouges—as well as rare late-disgorgement vintages aged for over 15 years in the cellars.
Jacquesson is not just a Champagne—it is a philosophy: expression over consistency, terroir over tradition.
