Champagne Jacquesson Description
Founded in 1798, Champagne Jacquesson, in Dizy, was acquired by the Pinault family in 2022. The property has Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, in the Grande Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs. Always innovative and keen to produce the best possible champagne every year, Jacquesson created the “700” cuvée in the early 2000s, which reflects both the character of a vintage and gives free expression to its prestigious terroirs.
In the 19th century, the House experienced a boom of growth. At the origin of this golden age was Adolphe Jacquesson, an inspired director and visionary inventor. In 1844, he revolutionized the champagne trade by patenting the “muselet”, the small wire still used today to hold the cork in place.
At the time, he also contributed to transforming champagne production techniques with the famous Jules Guyot. Under Adolphe Jacquesson’s leadership, a certain Johann Joseph Krug served as cellar master before founding the eponymous house.
748 is based on the 2020 vintage and disgorged August 2024.
Dosage: 2gm/L
Vinous: 93 Points
Jacquesson's NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 748 (base 2020), the 20th anniversary of this bottling, is gorgeous. Dried pear, crushed flowers, mint, chamomile and spice all grace the palate. The No. 748 is not quite as austere as some recent releases in this series, which means it will drink quite well right out of the gate. Floral notes lift the finish, adding precision and energy The No 748 is one of the most elegant and refined editions of this wine I can remember tasting.
Dosage is 2 grams per liter.
Disgorged: August 2024
