Jacquesson 2013 Dizy-Terres Rouges Extra Brut Champagne

2013 The winter was very cold and snowy, with spring and early summer staying cold and very damp, causing coulure and millerandage as well as delaying the flowering. However, August and September were warmer and drier giving us a late but excellent harvest. The grapes were picked on 8th October 2013, 10°9 alc., 8,9 gr/l acidity.

10,512 bottles and 584 magnums Bottled on 9 July 2014. Disgorged in February 2021. Dosage 0.75 g/l

Sustainable practices are the norm here, and one-third of Jacquesson’s vineyards are certified organic. No herbicide is used, and two-thirds of the vines are tilled while one-third is sown with cover crops. When fertilizers are used, they are entirely organic. Pruning is severe for low yields, there are no green harvests, and canopy management is stressed to ensure minimal mildew and odium pressure, thus holding fungicide sprays to two each year.
