    Tasting notes

    Jacquesson's Cuvée N°748 2014 presents a brilliant pale gold color, with fine, elegant bubbles. The nose is complex, revealing notes of citrus, white flowers, dried fruit, and a subtle touch of chalk. On the palate, the attack is direct, fresh, and taut, with a chiseled structure and a beautiful salinity. The finish, persistent and mineral, confirms the precision of this exceptional Extra Brut.

    Food & wine pairings

    This Champagne pairs perfectly with briny seafood, scallop carpaccio or sea bream ceviche.

    Producer

    The Jacquesson vineyard covers approximately 30 hectares spread across prestigious appellations in the Marne Valley, the Côte des Blancs, and the Montagne de Reims. The soils are predominantly clay-limestone and chalky, imparting finesse and minerality to the wines. The vines, cultivated using sustainable farming practices, are carefully tended to best preserve the identity of the terroirs and guarantee high-quality grapes.

    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

    Winemaking at Maison Jacquesson follows traditional methods, with fermentation in old casks, without systematic filtration or fining, in order to respect the fruit and its terroir as much as possible.
    Cuvée N°748 is made from the 2014 vintage with a rigorous selection of plots. It benefits from extended aging on lees before disgorgement, and is distinguished by an extra brut dosage (0 to 2 g/l), accentuating its purity and depth.
