Jacquesson Dizy Corne Bautray 2002 Champagne 75cl (Damaged Label)
Among Champagne's most admired grower-producers, Jacquesson has earned a reputation for crafting some of the region's most terroir-driven wines. The Dizy Corne Bautray is one of the domaine's celebrated single-vineyard Champagnes, produced exclusively from a tiny one-hectare parcel of old-vine Chardonnay on the hillside above Dizy. Fermented in large oak casks and bottled with minimal dosage, it is made only in exceptional vintages and exemplifies Jacquesson's philosophy of expressing one vineyard, one grape variety and one year with absolute clarity. The outstanding 2002 vintage has developed into one of the greatest releases of this iconic cuvée.
"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."Â Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Oct 2012
