Jacquesson Cuvée 746 Extra-Brut NV Bottle size: 750ml
France, Champagne
R1,295
Disgorgement date: January 2023
‘Disgorged in November 2022 with two grams per liter dosage, the NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 746 is based on the 2018 vintage. The grapes were sourced from Avize and Oiry (32%) and Hauvillers (68%). Showing nicely, it offers up a delicate, ripe bouquet with aromas of baked bread, ripe orchard fruits, almonds, dried flowers and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, it’s fleshy with an enveloping core of fruit, a pinpoint mousse and a delicate, perfumed, ripe orchard fruit-inflected finish. 2023-2035’ – Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate, 92/100
‘The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 746 (2018 base) is bright and energetic. Chardonnay drives the blend, but that is not especially evident. Kirsch, plum, spice, cedar, dried flowers and a kick of candied orange peel unfold in the glass, while tropical accents and a hint of spice linger. Best of all, the 746 will drink well upon release. The airy, lighter style is all charm. The blend is 56% Chardonnay, 24% Pinot Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir, with 25% reserve wines. Dosage is 2 grams per liter. Disgorged: February 2023. 2024-2032’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 91/100
‘Neat, well constituted and with more marked acidity than some. Tight and compact but very satisfying. Very clean and bracing. 2024-2032' – Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5+/20

| 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. |
