Regarding the Champagne Jacquesson Cuvée 743 Dégorgement Tardif
This fabulous Brut Nature champagne (0 g/L of sugar) is the result of a highly successful blend composed of 21% reserve wines from the 742 to 735 vintages, in which Pinot Noir plays a prominent role. This blend is built around the splendid 2015 harvest, featuring grapes of excellent ripeness and perfect health. The balance between alcohol and acidity is excellent. The champagne was aged for 89 months on its lees, under cork, before its late disgorgement in March 2024.
This is a champagne for connoisseurs—at once briny, airy, and endowed with a mouth-watering vinosity. The wine is straightforward, balanced on the palate, pleasant, dry, and harmonious within its firm structure. On the nose, ripe white and yellow fruits are enhanced by pastry-like notes. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with citrus notes, leading to a finish of dried fruits and mineral hints.
This 743 DT cuvée from Maison Jacquesson is on par with the greatest wines and pairs beautifully with pan-seared foie gras, lobster-filled gougères, poultry, or shellfish.
