Regarding the Champagne Jacquesson Cuvée 744 Dégorgement Tardif
This 744 DT cuvée from Maison Jacquesson, like the other cuvées in the “700” series, is a rarity (19,700 bottles).
This fabulous brut nature champagne (2 g/L of sugar) is the result of a very successful blend dominated by Pinot Noir, with 30% reserve wines from the 743 through 736 cuvées (excluding the 738). This blend is built around the exceptional 2016 harvest, featuring ripe and perfectly healthy grapes. The champagne is flavorful and aromatic; it was aged for 92 months on the lees, under cork, prior to its late disgorgement in February 2025.
It is a concentrated, flavorful champagne with exceptional aging potential. It offers a deep aromatic palette featuring smoky and gingerbread notes. It is taut, with a chalky structure and a very long finish.
This 744 DT cuvée from Maison Jacquesson is worthy of the greatest champagnes and pairs beautifully with pan-seared foie gras, poultry, or shellfish. It can be enjoyed now or, for the more patient among you, will age wonderfully for a few more years!
