Champagne JACQUESSON
Extra-Brut Cuvée n°746
- ----
- Champagne
This small estate, well known to the initiated, shines at the top of the Champagne hierarchy. Coming from a 31 ha vineyard, its cuvées render with finesse and purity the potential of their respective terroirs. Coming from 3 grands crus and 2 premiers crus, elaborated only from the first press juices, vinified in tuns, unfiltered and hardly dosed (2 gr/l for cuvée n°746), the 700 cuvées are great Champagne wines offering a remarkable ageing potential. The number corresponds to the vintage on the basis of which the cuvée is elaborated: 746 = 2018, 747 = 2019..., completed with some reserve wines.
Since January 2023, the Maison Jacquesson belongs to Mr. Pinault (Latour in Bordeaux, Clos de Tart in Burgundy, Château-Grillet in the Rhône, etc.). Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.
Cuvée “N° 746” in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (December 2023): 92/100 “Patinated nose, with perceptible but integrated and elegant wood ageing, and the enveloping ripeness of its base year, 2018. The palate is vinous and digestible, with luscious length and salinity to spare. Low dosage (2 g) for a ripe, dynamic, deep and stretched ensemble [...] A complex champagne, with autumnal allure, that calls for the table."
