2007 Jacquesson Dizy Terres Rouges Rosé
Jacquesson
The lieu-dit of Terres Rouges can be found on a shelf located on the lower slopes of the Premier Cru vignoble of Dizy where Jacquesson farms more than 6 hectares, half of them planted to Pinot Noir, half to Pinot Meunier. Terres Rouges, so called for its reddish-brown calcareous soil lying on chalky silt deposits, has deep, lightly stony and well drained terrain which benefits from good hydrous reserves. The vine takes root easily, and can find water and minerals deep in the sub-soil.

Jacquesson’s first skin-contact rosé of pinot noir, born of the frustration of lighter rosés made by the estate in the past, is a benchmark of red-blooded fizz. ‘I want to be able to taste that this is a rosé, even in a black glass,’ Jean-Hervé declares. ‘I wanted to make something where you could really eat, drink and chew the pinot!’ He’s done just that, with one of champagne’s deepest rosés, of unashamedly full crimson hue. If there is a spectrum that begins at champagne rosé and ends at full-bodied red Burgundy, this wine is further progressed than most champagnes, in intensity, structure and food-pairing versatility. It’s layered with plums, cherries, even violets, blackberries and roast chestnuts, lingering with great freshness and purity, powered by an engine room of ultra-fine tannins of confident grip. He has no idea of how it will age, but imagines it might develop well — and with these tannins to propel it, I reckon he’s right.
