Description
The Champagne Jacquesson Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 747 is mainly based on the 2019 harvest, supplemented with approximately 30% reserve wines that have matured in the cellars for several years. This cuvée is composed of the three traditional grape varieties of Champagne: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The grapes come from vineyards with chalky soils, which contributes to the finesse and purity of the wine. After careful vinification, the wine is matured on lattes, with an extra-brut dosage of only 1.5 g/l, resulting in a pure and lively champagne.
The Jacquesson Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 747 has a lively, delicate bouquet of white pepper, mandarin, lemon oil, spices and red berries mingled with delicious menthol notes. Medium to full bodied, tense and juicy, layered with a fruity core of fruit and a delicate salty finish.
The Jacquesson champagnes are the absolute top among Champagnes. Excellent quality and excellent price-quality. It is not without reason that the Jacquesson champagnes consistently receive high ratings from all wine institutes. The Jacquesson Champagne has been awarded 3 stars in the classification of La Revue du Vin de France. This classification gives a quality assessment of the 1,300 best wineries in France. The assessment is expressed in stars. A rating of three stars is the maximum that can be obtained. The previous cuvee 73x and 74x have all been awarded (more than) 90+ Parker points.

Wijnhuis
Jacquesson Champagne was founded in 1798 by Memmie Jacquesson in Chalons-en-Champagne. Memmie gave the new house its name and was immediately very successful: Jacquesson was one of Napoleon's favorite houses. His son Adolphe further developed the company and worked with Dr. Jules Guyot - still known today for his worldwide cutting technique and his patent on the muselet (the metal wire basket to secure the champagne cork). The early deaths of Adolphe's two sons marked the end of the family line and the temporary decline of the champagne house.
In 1974, Champagne Jacquesson was taken over by the Chiquet family and the core of the company moved to Dizy amid its own vineyards. The house features premier crus and grand crus vineyards in the villages of Dizy, Avize and Aÿ in La Grande Vallée de la Marne and La Côte des Blancs (named after the color of the grapes; around 95% of the grapes grown here consists of chardonnay). Champagne Jacquesson has 31.5 ha of its own vineyard and uses 10 ha of contracted, friendly winegrowers who work according to the same rules as those working in their own vineyards.
Jacquesson champagnes are the absolute top of the Champagnes. Excellent quality and excellent price-quality. Not for nothing did the cha, pagnes invariably get 92 points or more from Parker. The Champagne Jacquesson has received 3 stars in the La Revue du Vin de France ranking. This ranking gives a quality assessment of the 1,300 best wineries in France. The judgment is expressed in stars. A three-star rating is the maximum that can be obtained.
This small (annual production 350,000fl.) Champagne house has been at the absolute top in Champagne for several years. This Champagne house has been classified in the top 3 of the Champagnes by "Le Classement 2006". Jacquesson & Fils is one of a small number of small TOP producers who prioritize quality over quantity. The entire range of this house shines of pure class.
