Champagne Jacquesson, “Terres Rouges” Blanc de Noirs

Because we only received eight bottles of the 2012, I made the unfortunate and reluctant decision to not burn one on myself. It was one of the harder choices of my career…


Jacquesson’s 2012 “Terres Rouges” Blanc de Noirs aged one year longer on lees than the 2013, and it was disgorged without dosage in February of 2021. Though I am unable to lend my own tasting notes, I trust the word of Champagne guru Tyson Stelzer—one of the few who’ve had the fortune of tasting it—and here’s what he had to say: 


“This vineyard transcends its humble terroir of Dizy in profound chalk minerality, which permeates the palate with remarkable distinction, opening into a breathtaking red cherry purity of exceptional line and length. I have long admired Terres Rouges as a powerfully distinctive rosé and had always wondered at Jean-Hervé Chiquet’s suggestion that this terroir would sit better as a white. Now, I understand.”

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
