Jacquesson Cuvée 745 Extra Brut ---- (Sparkling)

Jacquesson champagnes are a long established name and the house is one of the most reputed among connoisseurs. Claude Jacquesson founded the company in Dizy in 1798. From the very beginning its champagne was reputed to be the Emperor's favourite (Napoleon 1). This was also the house which patented the cork wire in 1844 and helped establish Maison Krug. A succession of owners ran Maison Jacquesson until 1974 when it was acquired by the Chiquet family. Today, Jean Chiquet's sons, Laurent and Jean-Hervé, run the company with panache. The vineyards are planted on around 30 hectares in Avize, Aÿ, Dizy and Hautvillers and complemented by regular and carefully selected supplies of bought-in grapes. Jacquesson champagnes have a strong personality (especially the single parcel cuvées) and stand out for their low sugar levels, intensity and distinction. This house has gradually become the standard bearer for high-quality champagne, expressing the illustrious potential of its terroirs with incredible fidelity, reducing dosage to a strict minimum and allowing its cuvées the time they need to mature before putting them on the market. Because of this, the wines (primarily vinified in wood and dosed at Extra-Brut level) always have a distinct and sometimes surprising character. Production has reduced considerably since the Chiquet family took over Maison Jacquesson. Every year, it gives its non-vintage Brut (BSA) a number - 738, 739 etc. This is a way to identify the style of each vintage and to encourage fans to age the wines. All Jacquesson cuvées age beautifully, whether late-disgorged or not. This sublime champagne house is one of our favourites in the region.

La maison Jacquesson ne cesse ne gagner en notoriété ces dernières années. Ce véritable champagne d’amateur est en effet une pépite qui surprend tous les ans au moment se sa sortie. La cuvée 745 est issue d’une base de la récolte du millésime 2017, complétée par une faible proportion de vins de réserves. Dosé à moins d’1 gramme par litre, ce champagne est un extra brut assemblé à partir de 43% de chardonnay, 30% de pinot meunier et 27% de pinot noir.
A la dégustation, le vin offre des notes très nobles d’agrumes, de fruits blanc ainsi que de délicieuses touches pâtissières. D’un profil aérien, la trame est ciselée et tendue, elle offre un toucher de bouche particulièrement voluptueux et élégant, la bulle est d’une grande finesse. Une bouteille qui rendra n’importe quel moment joyeux, d’un apéritif gourmand à une belle tablée, elle tiendra toutes ses promesses.
