Jacquesson Cuvée 745 Extra-Brut NV Bottle size: 750ml
France, Champagne
R1,150
'A little more bright and vibrant than the 744, with notes of poached pear, baked apple, grapefruit, lemon rind and pistachio. Fine bubbles with crisp acidity and a pure, fruity core. Very drinkable. 0.75g/L dosage. Disgorged January 2022.' – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 93/100
‘Tight and tightly laced with some putty aromas. So savoury and mineral! Very distinctive. Should be long-lived. Admirably persistent. 2022-2028’ – Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20
‘The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 745 is going to need some time in bottle to soften the angular edges that are present at this stage. Whether those lines are the result of the 2017 harvest or a relatively disgorgement is hard to know, but the 745 is decidedly closed at this stage. Aeration brings out hints of pear, baked apple tart, red plum, spice and chamomile. This looks to be a relatively mid-weight, airy wine for Jacquesson. The blend is 66% Pinot Noir (from Ay, Dizy and Hautvillers) and 34% Chardonnay (from Avize and Oiry), based on 2017, with some reserve wines. Dosage is 0.75 grams per liter. Disgorged: June, 2022. 2024-2032’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 90/100

| Producer information | Jacquesson has fast become the leading modern Champagne House even though its history stretches back to the 18th century. Under the leadership of brothers Laurent and Jean-Hervé Chiquet who took over from their father in the 1980's, the revolutionary herbicide-free, terroir-based philosophy has changed the face of Champagne. Jacquesson’s production has halved over the last 3 decades, retaining only their finest vineyards and focusing on lower yields in an Extra-Brut Style. The house is not technically a grower Champagne as they lease 2 ha, but their demand always exceeds supply. |
