    The grapes for Cuvée 746 NM come from Jacquesson's historic terroirs, spread across Dizy, Aÿ, Hautvillers, Avize, and Oiry. These chalky and clay-limestone soils impart an intense mineral expression and remarkable aromatic finesse. The vines are cultivated using sustainable farming practices, with deep respect for the soil and the vine. Each plot is worked individually to guarantee optimal grape quality, a true hallmark of Jacquesson champagnes.

    Owner and history

    For more than two centuries, Champagne Jacquesson cultivates the art of wine Champagne with passion, exacting standards, and creativity. Founded in 1798 in Châlons-sur-Marne by Claude and Memmie Jacquesson, the House is one of the oldest in the region. In the 19th century, the House experienced meteoric growth. At the origin of this golden age was Adolphe Jacquesson, an inspired director and visionary inventor. In 1844, he revolutionized the world of... champagne by patenting the wire cage, the small wire still used today to hold the cork in place. This also contributed, at the time, to revolutionizing champagne-making techniques with the famous Jules Guyot. Under Adolphe Jacquesson's direction, a certain Johann Joseph Krug held the position of cellar master before founding the eponymous house. Jacquesson's renown also grew thanks to a persistent rumor: the champagne Jacquesson would be Napoleon I's favorite. After navigating a more challenging late 19th and early 20th centuries, the house was acquired by the de Tassigny family in 1924. They contributed to the redevelopment and revitalization of Jacquesson. The house's spirit of innovation has endured through the ages. In 1974, the Chiquet family took over and installed the domaine in Dizy. For nearly 50 years, Jean Chiquet, then his sons Laurent and Jean-Hervé, breathed new life into the House, placing precision and terroir at the heart of their approach. This quest for excellence is reflected, in particular, in the creation of Cuvée No. 700, which has become an inspiration throughout the region. Champagne and an international benchmark. At the end of 2022, Jacquesson joined the Artémis Domaines group, owned by the Pinault and Henriot La Rouzière families. Under the leadership of Frédéric Engerer, Managing Director of Artémis Domaines, and Jean Garandeau, Managing Director of Jacquesson, the team continues to meticulously attend to every detail and perpetuate the vision of its predecessors: a free and audacious spirit that remains deeply rooted in the Champagne.

    Vinification and aging

    Jacquesson practices plot-by-plot vinification, without malolactic fermentation, in order to preserve the natural tension of the wines. The juice is aged on its lees in old oak casks for several months. Cuvée 746, made primarily from the 2018 vintage, benefits from an Extra Brut dosage of only 0.75 g/l. After bottling, the champagne is aged for an extended period in the cellars before release, which gives it a beautiful complexity and a remarkable aging potential.
