Dear *|FNAME|*,

Jacquesson is one of the oldest and best independent Champagne houses, ranking at 5-star level alongside Krug, Selosse, Roederer, Bollinger and Egly-Ouriet! Their Cuvée 744, based on the 2016 vintage, is electric with ‘encyclopaedic complexity’, says Decanter. This is a wine first, bubbly second that ‘demands attention’, according to Jancis Robinson.

Founded in 1798, Jacquesson has a history of trailblazing. The owners, brothers Laurent and Jean-Hervé Chiquet, have changed the face of Champagne with their 700-series, focusing on vintages and single-vineyard bottlings.

These incredibly acclaimed wines age forever and will make you rethink what you know about Champagne. Get yours now before they become unattainable.

*Cuvée 1 dates back to 1898. The Chiquet brothers’ philosophy is to make Champagne like fine wine, approaching it from a vintage and terroir perspective and eschewing the traditional yearly, non-vintage 'house styles'. They re-launched the 700-series in 2000 with Cuvée 728. So when looking for the vintage on which one of Jacquesson’s 700-series is based, simply subtract 728 from the cuvée number. For example, 744 – 728 = 16. Thus, Cuvée 744 is based on the 2016 vintage.

Tasting notes

Jacquesson Cuvée 744 Extra-Brut NV

'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.' – William Kelley, Wine Advocate

'The Cuvée 744 bears all the Jacquesson hallmarks, namely encyclopaedic complexity, with tropical notes of guava and pineapple discreet behind the mealy, rich and yet wonderfully controlled mid-palate. Shard-like acidity runs through the ensemble and the finish is powerful and satisfying.' – Simon Field MW, Decanter

'The NV Cuvée No. 744 Grand Vin is a bright, taut Champagne that is going to need at least a few years to come together… Citrus, crushed rocks and white flowers add an attractive upper register.' – Antonio Galloni, Vinous

'Full-bodied with depth and verticality that takes you deep down the palate. Electric finish. Very dry at the end with lovely bitterness.' – James Suckling
