Champagne Jacquesson
Cuvée n° 741 Dégorgement Tardif

This Champagne is the result of a blend of grapes coming from a single harvest with an addition of vin de reserve resting in the cave for several years. During this process it is fundamental to exalt the best of each vintage for an exceptional final result, avoiding the differences of each of them. Cuvées are numbered to be tracked back and underline their own properties.

The Cuvée n° 741 Degorgement Tardif by Jacquesson has a base of the vintage 2013. The wine vinified in big oak barrels and rested on its yeasts. The Cuvée n° 741 Degorgement Tardif is the result of 57% Chardonnay, 21% Pinot Noir and 22% Meunier, coming from vineyards located in Grands and Premiers Crus territories in Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs. Fine, complex and mineral Champagne Extra Brut (0 g/l).

The version Degorgement Tardif differs from the classical Cuvée n° 741 because it rests on its yeasts for over 7 years. This Cuvée was disgorged in April 2022 (14,609 bottles and 759 magnums).

Champagne Jacquesson

The Maison has had the name of its founder since 1978. It had a great success from the beginning, thanks to the quality of its wines. The Jacquesson Champagne was Napoleon's favourite and in 1810 the Emperor gave the maison one of the most significant acknowledgement of that time, a gold metal for "la Beauté et la Richesse de ses Caves" (the beauty and richness of the caves). Today the Maison Jacquesson & Fils is proud to follow the path traced by its glorious founders and concentrates its efforts in an annual production of 350,000 bottles, with non-industrial methods, obtaining the higher quality standards ever. This old but small maison in Dizy, not far from Aÿ, under the wise guide of the Chiquet brothers is one of the biggest companies in the Champagne region and despite its success, it never increased its production. Grapes come mainly from owned vineyards (28 hectares), 11 of which are located in Côte de Blancs, in Avize. A rigorous vinification, followed by an excellent aging, lead to Vintage Cuvées, sold not according to their chronological order but their maturity. A low dosage (all vintage are elaborated as Extra Brut) preserves the fineness and pureness of the wine.
