What kind of wine is Champagne Extra Brut Rosé Dizy 1er Cru “Terres Rouges” 2015 - Jacquesson (boxed)
The Champagne Extra Brut Rosé Dizy 1er Cru “Terres Rouges” 2015 - Jacquesson (boxed) represents one of the most fascinating expressions of the renowned Maison Jacquesson, a historic Champagne house that sensitively enhances each individual cru with artisan skill. This wine originates from a small plot of just over one hectare, located in the village of Dizy, classified as a Premier Cru, in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne. Produced exclusively in the best vintages, the “Terres Rouges” owes its name to the characteristic color of the soil, rich in ferruginous clays that give the wine structure and complexity. It is an Extra Brut Rosé Champagne made using the Méthode Champenoise – meaning with a second fermentation in the bottle – which gives fineness and long persistence to the perlage.Vintage Details
The 2015 vintage was characterized by a balanced climate, with a mild spring and a warm but not extreme summer, favoring a homogeneous ripening of the Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes from the single lieu-dit “Terres Rouges”. The limited yields and the excellent health of the grapes allowed for the production of a rosé of rare elegance, concentrated and vibrant, where the fruit blends perfectly with the natural freshness bestowed by the Dizy terroir.Winemaking and Aging
The winemaking process involves a brief maceration of the skins, necessary to impart the wine's typical pink hue and slight tannic nuances. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, where the wine also undergoes malolactic fermentation, a process that softens the natural acidity, giving roundness. This is followed by refermentation in the bottle according to the traditional method and a long aging on its lees for over 4 years, which enriches the aromatic profile with complex and creamy nuances. The Extra Brut dosage (little added sugar) enhances the purity of the fruit and the mineral tension, ensuring a dry and refined style.Tasting Notes

With aeration, nuances of bread crust, almond, and chalk emerge, recalling the mineral imprint of the terroir.Palate

How to best open and serve Champagne Extra Brut Rosé Dizy 1er Cru “Terres Rouges” 2015 - Jacquesson (in box)
1. Bottle positioning
To fully enjoy the aromatic qualities of Champagne Extra Brut Rosé Dizy 1er Cru “Terres Rouges” 2015 - Jacquesson (in box), it is essential to position the bottle correctly. Before opening, keep it horizontal to keep the cork moist and ensure a perfect seal. If the bottle has been stored vertically, let it rest horizontally for at least 24 hours, so that any sediment settles and the bubbles stabilize.
2. Ideal serving temperature
Temperature plays a decisive role in enhancing the aromas and finesse of this Champagne. Serve Champagne Extra Brut Rosé Dizy 1er Cru “Terres Rouges” 2015 - Jacquesson at a temperature between 10°C and 12°C. Avoid over-chilling it in the freezer: the best method is to place the bottle in an ice bucket with water and ice for about 30 minutes.
3. Opening the bottle
Opening a vintage Champagne requires care and precision. Follow these steps:
- Gently remove the foil cap and loosen the wire cage, always keeping your thumb on the cork to prevent accidental opening.
- Hold the bottle at about a 45° angle, with one hand on the cork and the other on the base.
- Slowly twist the bottle (not the cork) until the cork gently lifts, releasing a soft sigh of gas, not a loud pop, so as not to dissipate the aromas and carbon dioxide.
4. Inspection and initial tasting
After opening, check the color and brilliance of the wine. Champagne Extra Brut Rosé Dizy 1er Cru “Terres Rouges” 2015 - Jacquesson (in box) has a charming coppery reflection, typical of terroir rosés. Upon initial tasting, assess the freshness and liveliness of the bubbles: they should be fine and persistent. This step helps to determine if the wine needs a brief period of oxygenation.
5. Decanting and oxygenation
Contrary to popular belief, even some vintage Champagnes can benefit from a brief decanting. For this Champagne Extra Brut Rosé Dizy 1er Cru “Terres Rouges” 2015 - Jacquesson, it is advisable to:
- Pour the wine into a carafe or a large tasting glass, being careful not to break the foam.
- Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes, so that the complex and mineral aromas can fully express themselves.
This process helps to release notes of red fruits, citrus, and toasted hints, typical of the Jacquesson style.
6. Serving
Serve the Champagne in large white wine glasses, rather than thin flutes, to allow the bouquet to emerge best. Fill them two-thirds full, leaving space for oxygenation. Pair Champagne Extra Brut Rosé Dizy 1er Cru “Terres Rouges” 2015 - Jacquesson with raw fish dishes, crustaceans, or white meats in a light sauce: its balance of freshness and complexity will bring out all its nuances.
7. Storage after opening
If not entirely consumed, re-seal the bottle with a specific Champagne stopper and store it in the refrigerator. The wine will maintain its effervescence for about 24-36 hours. Avoid leaving it open for too long, as oxygen tends to dampen the aromatics and finesse of the bubbles.
By following these instructions, you will be able to fully experience the sensory experience offered by Champagne Extra Brut Rosé Dizy 1er Cru “Terres Rouges” 2015 - Jacquesson (in box), enhancing every nuance and ensuring an impeccable tasting.
