Cuvée 745 gift box

The Cuvée 745 from Jacquesson comes from the 2017 harvest. The year brought small yields but rich, dense wines. The assemblage is made up of 43% Chardonnay, 30% Meunier and 27% Pinot Noir. 55% of the grapes grow in Aÿ, Dizy and Hautvillers, 45% in Avize and Oiry. With a dosage of 0.75 g/l the champagne is an Extra Brut. It belongs to the numbered 700 cuvées, with which the house aims for finesse, clarity and ageing potential.

The bouquet recalls citrus fruit and brioche. The perlage is delicate and lively. In the mouth there is white fruit, with a light touch of wood and plenty of minerality. The profile is fine, complex and tense. The 745 suits an aperitif as well as shellfish, poultry or sheep's cheese. Enjoy it at around 10 °C in a generous white wine glass that gives the wine room to open up. The bottle comes in a gift box. A later disgorgement after five years is released as Cuvée 700 Dégorgement Tardif.
