Champagne Jacquesson Cuvee 745 Extra Brut

Cuvée 745 from the Maison Jacquesson, is from the 2017 harvest, a low volume harvest, but with rich and dense wines. Beautiful Extra-Brut champagne (0.75 g/l), made from 55% of the terroirs of Aÿ, Dizy and Hautvillers and 45% of those of Avize and Oiry. One of the "700" numbered vintages, famous for their finesse, purity and incredible aging potential. Resulting from a blend of Chardonnay-43%, Meunier-30% and Pinot Noir-27%, the nose reveals notes of citrus fruits and brioche. The air bubble (perlage) is of great finesse and air. The mouth is very elegant, on white fruit, with a slightly woody and mineral touch. A fine, complex and tense champagne profile.

After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and pressed and undergo temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation with wild yeasts in old large wooden casks (some 120 years old), followed by malolactic fermentation and maturation on the 'lie'. After this, sugar and yeast are added to the wine again and then it is bottled and closed with a crown cap. Carbon dioxide (prise de mousse) is produced during the subsequent fermentation. Dosage of 0.75 g/L, so an Extras Brut. Disgorged January 2022 This entire process takes place without any form of filtering and according to biological rules and regulations.
