Note di degustazione
Cuvée 744 is Jacquesson’s fourth non-vintage. release where the focus is on vintage expression. Unlike your typical non-vintage blends – where reserve wines are used to homogenise the style every year – Jacquesson wants the vintage qualities to shine through. For the latest release, 70% of the wine comes from the sunny 2016 vintage and the remaining 30% from 2015. With quality in mind, the grapes come exclusively from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards. The wine is barrel fermented and aged on its lees for four years prior to disgorgement.The wine has pronounced peach, citrus peel and apple skin aromas on the nose, as well as hints of strawberries and cream. The creaminess has a lovely leesy quality, with biscuit and pastry echoed on the palate, along with honeycomb and hazelnuts. Quite rich and fruit forward, speaking of its sunny base vintage (2016), along with a measured dose of toasty oak and good complexity from the reserve wines in the blend. The finish has a fresh and compact mineral quality, with quite a pronounced mint flavour – very clean and refreshing, and making you happily come back for more! This is ready to go and will drink well for another five years or more.

The upcoming release, the bright straw-hued NV Champagne Cuvee 744 Disgorgement Tardif Extra Brut is from a 2016 base and was disgorged in February 2025. It will be released next year. I love the nose of this cuvée, which is more classical and pretty, featuring a more elegant style with notes of fresh pastry, a creamy, chalky texture, and refreshing citrus, with more lemon oils and fresh Meyer lemon, as well as white fruits. (Again, the Chardonnay takes the lead here.) I prefer the energy this cuvée brings, and it has considerable potential for aging while retaining its freshness. Over the long haul, I believe the 744 will be the wine that ages very slowly, but I also love the black fruits and power that the 743 expresses now. Both will be highly compelling in the years to come, with the 744 pairing beautifully with a fish course and the 743 with red meat or duck. Drink 2027-2057.
A tangy and intense Champagne with apricots and biscuits and orange-like acidity. Full-bodied with depth and verticality that takes you deep down the palate. Electric finish. Very dry at the end with lovely bitterness. Baked apples. 0.75 g/L dosage. Disgorged August 2021. Based on 2016. 45% chardonnay, 35% pinot noir and 20% pinot meunier. Drink now.
Disgorged in February 2021 with 0.75 grams per liter dosage, the NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 744 is based on the 2016 vintage. Exhibiting complex aromas of orange oil, crisp stone fruit, fenugreek and subtle hints of yellow Chartreuse, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and seamless, with terrific depth at the core, lively acids and a pinpoint mousse. Simultaneously vivid but replete with sapid nuance, this new release throws into relief all the work the Jacquesson brothers have made in the vineyards and cellar over the last two decades.
