Jacquesson Lieux-Dits 2008 (2 Bts Avize Champ Cain 2008 + 1 Btl Dizy Corne Bautray 2008) Magnum

Jacquesson’s Lieux-Dits 2008 magnum set is a rare opportunity to experience two of the estate’s most celebrated single-vineyard expressions in one collection: 2 magnums of Avize Champ Cain and 1 magnum of Dizy Corne Bautray. Built on Chardonnay and crafted in a pure, terroir-driven style, these wines show why Jacquesson is regarded as one of Champagne’s most respected names.

Tasting Notes
The Avize Champ Cain 2008 pours with bright, luminous energy and a refined, almost weightless impression in the glass. Aromas unfold with citrus zest, green apple, walnuts, marzipan, and faint hints of butter and honey, leading into a palate that is full, layered, and deeply concentrated, with a striking chalky finish. The Dizy Corne Bautray 2008 is more restrained and precise, opening with notes of citrus oil, clear honey, preserved rhubarb, and subtle fresh pastry. On the palate it is powerful yet impeccably balanced, with a firm line of acidity, impressive depth, and a long, focused finish. Both wines have excellent aging potential and will continue to gain complexity over time.

Production
The Avize Champ Cain parcel sits at the base of a south-facing slope in Avize, on clay, sand, and silt over chalk, and is planted with old Chardonnay vines dating back to 1962. The vineyards are farmed using organic methods, emphasizing health, balance, and site expression. Dizy Corne Bautray comes from a prized single site in Dizy and was bottled as a limited magnum release. Both wines were disgorged in April 2018 with very low dosage for a dry, precise style; Corne Bautray was disgorged without dosage.

Food & Serving
Serve these Champagnes well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, in tulip-shaped glasses to capture their layered aromatics. They are excellent with shellfish, oysters, fine poultry, creamy risottos, aged Comté, or truffled dishes; the Avize’s broader texture suits richer preparations, while the Dizy’s tension pairs beautifully with delicate seafood and refined canapés. Decanting is generally not necessary, but a short aeration in the glass can help the wines раскрыть their complexity.

Producer
Champagne Jacquesson is one of the great historic houses of the region, known for moving beyond a conventional house style toward a more vineyard-specific, terroir-expressive philosophy. Under the Chiquet family, Jacquesson has earned a strong reputation among Champagne enthusiasts for precision, transparency, and low-intervention winemaking. Its Lieux-Dits cuvées are particularly prized for their distinct identity and limited availability, making them benchmark wines for serious collectors.
