Champagne Jacquesson Cuvee 749 Extra Brut

Champagne Jacquesson Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 749 is primarily based on a harvest from Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers, and Champillon (72%), supplemented by Avize and Oiry (28%). The growing season was characterized by a dry winter, a cool spring with minor frost damage, and a wet summer with an increased risk of mildew and botrytis. However, from mid-August onwards, drier weather ensured optimal ripening of the grapes. The harvest took place from September 20 to October 1, aiming to combine maximum concentration with elegance and finesse. Chardonnay once again plays the leading role in the blend, supplemented by 28% reserve wines from Cuvées 743 through 748 (with the exception of 745). The wine was fermented and aged in vats, without filtering or fining, and has an extra-brut dosage of only 2 g/l.

The Jacquesson Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 749 distinguishes itself through its pure and refined style, with great precision, fresh tension, and a pronounced expression of terroir. The combination of ripe fruit, lively acidity, and subtle minerality creates an elegant structure and a long, harmonious finish.

Jacquesson champagnes belong to the absolute top of Champagne. The house is known for its terroir-driven approach, low dosages, and exceptional consistency. It is not without reason that Jacquesson has been receiving rave reviews from international wine critics for years. Furthermore, the house achieved the maximum 3 stars in La Revue du Vin de France, an award granted to only a select few of France's best wineries. The previous cuvées from the 74x series were also awarded numerous scores well above 90 points.
