Champagne Jacquesson "Cuvée 747" with individual cases:

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2025 (Sept. 2024): Favorite and 95/100. The cuvée N°747 captivates us with its depth: from its youth, the wine displays perfect maturity, a brilliance of precision. The palate is ample, distinguished, with a graceful texture and delicate bubbles. This blend will leave a lasting impression; we are already looking forward to tasting it again in a few years in its late disgorgement version.

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

The concept of Cuvée 700 is unique in Champagne and is the opposite of non-vintage brut. We seek excellence rather than consistency (which is usually sought in non-vintage brut), respecting the character of the vintage rather than negating it, and highlighting a great wine rather than maintaining a style. The addition of reserve wines is intended to enhance complexity without masking the character of the base year. The Cuvée 700 is a blend of several years and therefore cannot be identified by the mention of any one of them: the choice of a number was necessary, and rather than inventing one from scratch, we preferred to highlight the production number that the Cuvée carries in our bottling records. The Cuvée n° 1 was created by the House in 1898 to celebrate its first centenary. And it was from Cuvée n° 728, made from the 2000 harvest, that our adventure began.

The cuvée 700 comes from our three Grands Crus and our two Premiers Crus, it is made exclusively from the first press juices, vinified in large barrels, almost always without filtration, making it primarily a Grand Vin de Champagne. It certainly has remarkable aging potential, which is why we offer it with two different maturations. ("normal" and "Late Disgorgement").

2019, our harvest in Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers, Champillon (75%), Avize and Oiry (25%): the winter is mild and dry, the spring marked by three major frost episodes causing damage mainly to the chardonnays, resulting in a predominance of pinots in this cuvée. The summer is dry with heatwaves causing sunburn. Harvest from September 12 to 22, of exceptional quality with very moderate yields. The wines are structured, balanced, long, and complex. Viticulture respectful of the soil and the plant in service of parcel diversity. Vinification and aging in large barrels on lees without filtration or fining.

Dosage: 1.5 gr/l
