Champagne JACQUESSON
Extra-Brut Cuvée n°742 DT
- ----
- 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 (0.5 gr/l for Cuvée n°742), 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 (2014 for Cuvée 742) completed with some reserve wines. The suffix DT stands for Dégorgement Tardif (Late Disgorging), meaning an additional 5 years of ageing on the lees.
Since January 2023, the Maison Jacquesson belongs to Mr. Pinault (Latour in Bordeaux, Clos de Tart in Burgundy, Château-Grillet in the Rhône, etc.).
Company rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France's annual guide.
Cuvée "742 DT" in the reviews:
La Revue du Vin de France (Décember 2024) : 94/100 « A 2014 base aged for... 94 months on lees! The characteristic fresh lemon note bursts forth. More lanky than thick in this vintage. A formidable allonge sculpted with great freshness and a complex patina. »
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 93/100 “The NV Extra Brut Cuvée No. 742 Dégorgement Tardif (2014 base) is another terrific wine from Jacquesson. Now at its forst plateau of maturity, this is an exotic beauty. Kirsch, ginger, spice, menthol, licorice and dried herbs build nicely. There's gorgeous depth and resonnce here. Even so, my impression is that the 742 is a wine to drink rather than cellar, and a fine choice for readers who enjoy mature Champagnes. Dosage is 0.5 grams per liter."

Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 93/100 “The NV Extra Brut Cuvée No. 747 (2019 base) marries textural richness with notable vibrancy Lemon confit, mint, white pepper, tangerine peel and graphite lend energy throughout. All the elements are very nicely balanced. I especially admire the textural depth here. Spring frost was particulary damaging to the chardonnay, so the blend is distinctly Pinot-leaning in this release. Dosage is 1.5 grams per liter."

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."
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 91/100 “The NV Extra Brut Cuvée No. 746 (2018 base) is bright and energetic. Chardonnay drives the blend, but that is not especially evident. Kirsch, plum, spice, cedar, dried flowers and a kick of candied orange peel unfold in the glass, while tropical accents and a hint of spice linger. Best of all, the 746 will drink well upon release. The airy, lighter style is all charm. The blend is 56% Chardonnay, 24% Pinot Meunier and 20 % Pinot Noir, with 25% reserve wines. Dosage is 2 grams per liter."

This small House, well known to insiders, shines at the top of the Champagne hierarchy. From a 31-hectare vineyard, its cuvées render the potential of their respective terroirs with finesse and purity.
Dizy Terres Rouges, an undosed white champagne, comes from a 1.33-hectare parcel at the foot of a red-brown hillside. A splendid champagne, as radiant and generous as the summer of 2015.
Since January 2023, Maison Jacquesson has been owned by Mr. Pinault (Latour in Bordeaux, Clos de Tart in Burgundy, Château-Grillet in Rhône...).Company rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France's annual guide.
Cuvée "Dizy-Terres Rouges Premier Cru 2015" in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 94/100 “The 2015 Extra Brut Dizy-Terres Rouges Premier Cru is Bright, airy and nicely lifted. It's an especially floral, mid-weight expressio of Pinot Noir. Crushed flowers, dried herbs, spice, cedar and tobacco give the 2015 a strong aromatic presence. Although a bit light, the 2015 is very nicely delineated and also avoids the assertive vegetal notes that afflict so manny wines in this vintage. Bottled with no dosage."
