Jacquesson Corne Bautray, a hectare in focus.

Published 3 November 2026 · WHV

Start with Jacquesson’s map of Dizy. Corne Bautray is a steep upper-slope parcel facing southwest, planted with Chardonnay. The house describes a clay-rich surface with millstone fragments over chalk. The map gives the name on the label a physical shape.

Then read the sheet for the vintage you have in front of you. The 2009 release record gives the planting date, harvest date and bottling information. Together these records make the wine a way of following one site through successive years, with enough detail to ask what changed between them.

When comparing bottles, note the vintage, format and release or disgorgement details. Ask how each was kept. The bottle is interesting because the grower has made its origin and production unusually legible, leaving room for your own judgement when it is opened.
