The 2007 Extra Brut Dizy Terres Rouges is 100% Pinot Noir macerated on the skins. A deep, richly-colored wine, the 2007 bursts from the glass with intense red cherries, freshly cut flowers, mint and licorice. The 2007 boasts striking inner perfume and dazzling overall balance. This just screams Pinot. Quite frankly, the 2007 is nearly impossible to spit. I would prefer to drink the 2007 in its exuberant youth while the fruit retains its presence and sheer raciness. This is another terrific showing from Jacquesson. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017. I have to say, I was totally blown away by the wines I tasted with proprietor Jean-Herve Chiquet at Jacquesson this year. I can’t think of another estate in Champagne that has so successfully transformed itself in just a handful of years. Most Champagne fans are familiar with the house’s 700-series NV wines, which remain absolutely delicious, fairly priced and relatively easy to find. Over the last ten years so, Jacquesson has also stepped up their program of single-vineyard wines. Quantities are tiny and prices are high, but these are now some of the most compelling wines in the entire region. If you haven’t tasted the Jacquesson wines lately, you owe it to yourself to do so.Importer: Vintage 59 Imports, Washington DC; tel. (202) 966-9218
