Now approaching its centennial, the house remains a small, family-run producer, currently guided by third-generation vigneronne Laurence Ployez, and continues to draw on Chardonnay parcels planted around Ludes and neighboring villages including Bisseuil, Cuis, Puisieulx, Taissy, and Vrigny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDosage Zéro is the house's zero-dosage Blanc de Blancs: 100% Chardonnay, aged a minimum of eight years before release, with no sugar added at disgorgement. That extended aging softens what would otherwise be a razor-sharp style into something more layered, while the zero dosage keeps every bit of the wine's natural tension and minerality on full display. This 2012 shows the added dimension that a strong, structured vintage and over a decade of bottle age can bring to a wine built this lean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA fine, persistent mousse with a nose of citrus and toasted brioche, sharpened by a distinctly chalky, dusty minerality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe palate is lean and precise, with lemon and green apple carrying through a bracing line of acidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero dosage means nothing here is masked; what you taste is the site and the aging, full stop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA somewhat shorter, laser-focused finish that keeps you coming back for another sip to parse it out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn excellent choice for anyone who wants to taste just how far Chardonnay and time can take a Champagne with nothing added.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChill to 45-48°F before opening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo decanting required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe in all-purpose stems to give the mineral and citrus notes room to open up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair it with pan-seared diver scallops in a citrus beurre blanc, or other delicate, high-acid seafood preparations that won't fight its bone-dry structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397091311670,"sku":"SOMM2608-PJ12DZ-750","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2012ChampagnePloyez-Jacquemart_DosageZeroExtraBrut_1.png?v=1787689227","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2012-champagne-ployez-jacquemart-dosage-zero-extra-brut","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
