    Description

    In recognition of the subtle differences between each annual non-vintage creation, Champagne Jacquesson number their non-vintage cuvée every year, starting with Cuvee 728, released in 2004 based on the 2000 vintage. Jacquesson Cuvée 747 is based on the 2019 harvest with grapes originating from Ay, Dizy, Hautvillers, Avize and Oiry. The champagne was vinified on the lees in oak barrels with no filtration or fining. 242,012 bottles, 9,770 magnums and 398 jeroboams were produced.

    Weather in 2019: Despite a mild and dry winter, three episodes of spring frosts affected Chardonnay volumes, resulting in a Pinot-dominant blend. The commitment to sustainability in the vineyard ensures the expression of each plot’s unique character, resulting in fruit of beautiful concentration and finesse. Harvest took place over ten days, from September 12th to 22nd, yielding a high-quality crop.

    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.
