Jacquesson Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs “Ay Vauzelle Terme” 2013

Jacquesson Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs "Ay Vauzelle Terme" is a sophisticated dry Champagne crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, sourced from the esteemed Ay sub-region of Champagne, France. Representing the epitome of elegance and terroir expression, this cuvée showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail synonymous with the Jacquesson house.

Jacquesson & Fils is a Champagne producer based in the Dizy region of Champagne. The house was founded in 1798 and the fame of the house grew following the rumour that it was a favourite of Napoleon. Today company is run by two brothers - Jean-Hervé and Laurent Chiquet. Methods have now been changed to organic, fermentation in oak has been increased, new vineyards have been bought, but production still is limited to 350.000 bottles a year. Jacquesson vineyards are located in the Grand Cru villages Aÿ, Avize and Oiry and in the Premier Cru villages. The main wine is a numbered cuvée. The numbered wines are blended with the curent vintage as the main part of the blend and just with 30-40% older reserve wines. Other wines are vintages, single vineyards. All wines are characterized by elegance and minerality due to an extremely low dosage (usually 2-5 grams sugar per liter). An interesting fact - Adolphe Jacquesson the first owner of the house is the inventor of the muselet, the metal wire that holds the cork!

Delicate and refined, Jacquesson Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs “Ay Vauzelle Terme” offers enticing tasting notes of ripe red berries, toasted hazelnuts, and subtle hints of brioche, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish.

Pair this exquisite Champagne with rich and savory dishes such as roasted duck breast or truffle-infused risotto to complement its depth and complexity, or enjoy it as a standalone indulgence for special occasions.
