2002 Jacquesson, Dizy Corne Bautray Brut
100% Chardonnay from vines planted in 1960 on this one hectare plot situated on a steep southwest-facing slope in Dizy. The vineyard's stony clay soil atop hard limestone contributes to the wine's unique character.
"The 2002 Brut Dizy Corne Bautray is all wild flowers, honey, mint and dried fruit. Six months ago, the 2002 was big and broad-shouldered, but since then it has found a more feminine and graceful side as well. The weight and richness of this 50 year-old parcel comes through beautifully in vivid aromas and flavors that are totally seductive. The Corne Bautray is a wonderfully complete wine that changes constantly in the glass, a quality that will fascinate readers lucky enough to track the wine down for many, many years."
