    Aromas of fresh bread, ripe apples and white flowers give way to an ample, almost creamy palate offering flavours of apricots, spices and toasted hazelnuts, carried perfectly by the luxurious mousse and fine, lingering finish.

    Description

    In recognition of the subtle differences between each annual non-vintage creation, Champagne Jacquesson number their non-vintage cuvée every year. Jacquesson Cuvée 743 is based on the 2015 harvest with grapes originating from Ay, Dizy, Hautvillers, Avize and Oiry. The Pinot Noir from Ay and Dizy and the Chardonnays from Avize were particularly successful in 2015. The base harvest is complemented by the addition of 20% reserve wines from the previous two years. The champagne was vinified on the lees in oak barrels with no filtration or fining. 222,044 bottles, 9,902 magnums and 300 jeroboams were produced.

    Producer Profile

    The house was founded in 1798 by Memmie Jacquesson. Jacquesson is small producer based in Dizy, just a short distance north east of Epernay. Production is around 280,000 bottles per annum and are made with 78% of grapes from their own 28 hectare estate, the rest is bought in from growers. The 28ha estate comprises 11ha in Avize and Oiry, some 13ha spread over Aÿ, Hautvillers, Dizy and Mareuil-su-Aÿ and a further 4ha in the Vallée de l’Ardre (a tributary of the Vesle, north-west of the Marne). In 1990 brothers Jean-Hervé and Laurent Chiquet took over running the family business from their father and they soon started the transition to organic farming. The Jacquesson wines are typically fermented in old, large-sized oak foudre, though that yields little wood character to the wine.
