Regarding the Champagne Jacquesson Cuvée 743 Dégorgement Tardif
Like the other cuvées in the "700" family, this 743 DT from Maison Jacquesson is a rarity (19,900 bottles).
This fabulous brut nature champagne (0 gr/l sugar) is the result of a highly successful blend of 21% reserve wines from cuvées 742 to 735, with a strong Pinot noir presence. This blend is built around the splendid 2015 harvest, with perfectly ripe and healthy grapes. The alcohol/acidity balance is excellent. The champagne was aged 89 months on lees, under cork, before its Late Disgorgement in March 2024.
This is a champagne for connoisseurs, at once saline, airy and endowed with a salivating vinosity. The wine is frank, balanced on the palate, pleasant, dry and harmonious in its firm structure. On the nose, ripe white and yellow fruits are enhanced by pastry notes. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with citrus fruit and a finish of dried fruit and mineral touches.
This Cuvée 743 DT from Maison Jacquesson is worthy of the greatest, and will accompany pan-fried foie gras, gougères stuffed with lobster, poultry and shellfish.
