Champagne JACQUESSON - Cuvée n°748
The Champagne House Jacquesson is located in Dizy in the Marne Valley , Champagne . Its history dates back to 1978, when the Chiquet family bought the brand and transferred it to their family estate. In 1988, Jean-Hervé and Laurent Chiquet took over and have since overseen a rapid rise to prominence when Jacquesson was ranked third best of all the Houses after Bollinger and Krug. The vineyard is located in two distinct regions: the Grand Cru of Aÿ and two Premiers Crus in Dizy and Hautvillers in the Marne Valley and two Grands Crus in the Côte des Blancs in Avize and Oiry . 80% of Jacquesson's wines come from their vineyards, which have been certified organic since 2010.
Cuvée No. 748 is made from a 2020 vintage base and is a blend of Chardonnay, Meunier and Pinot Noir . The harvest comes from the crus Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvilliers and Champillon (75%) and Avize and Oiry (25%). It is vinified on lees in oak tuns and then aged for approximately 4 years before being disgorged in April 2024. This 748 edition is magnified this year by the addition of 24% reserve wines (selected from cuvées nos. 747 to 743, as well as a batch of cuvée no. 741).
It is dosed at 1.5 g/L .
