Vintage 745

The Cuvée 745 is regarded as the classic of the house of Jacquesson. The base is the small but dense and rich 2017 vintage. The Extra Brut (0.75 g/l dosage) combines 43% Chardonnay, 30% Meunier and 27% Pinot Noir. 66% of the grapes come from Aÿ, Dizy and Hautvillers, 34% from Avize and Oiry. The production is very small at 250 bottles. Like all the numbered 700 cuvées, it stands for finesse, purity and great ageing potential.

On the nose there is citrus and brioche. On the palate come white fruit, a light touch of wood and plenty of minerality, carried by an airy, fine perlage. It works as an aperitif, with shellfish, poultry or a tomme de brebis. Serve it at 9 to 11 °C in a white wine glass.
