Jacquesson

Dizy Terres Rouges 2009 | Bottle 75cl

Description

At the bottom of the Dizy hillside, Jacquesson operates a vineyard known as Terres Rouges, covering over 6 hectares, half of which is planted with Pinot Noir and half with Pinot Meunier. It's the color of the soil, reddish-brown, sitting on chalky loam, that gave this parcel its name.
2009 was marked by a dry, very cold winter, a mild, rainy spring and, above all, a hot, sunny summer that lasted beyond the harvest. Jacquesson decided to de-stem and crush the entire harvest, followed by a short maceration for half the grapes and a simple run-off for the other half. Since the 2008 vintage, this cuvée has been an equal blend of rosé de saignée and direct-pressed rosé.
Although the color is a little less intense, the cuvée has gained in finesse, while retaining the distinctive character of Terres Rouges Rosé.
8,896 bottles and 300 magnums were produced. Bottling took place on June 18, 2010 and disgorging in January 2016.
