Regarding the Champagne Jacquesson Cuvée 744 Dégorgement Tardif magnum
This 744 DT magnum from Maison Jacquesson, like the other vintages in the “700” series, is a rarity (905 magnums).
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 vintages 743 through 736 (excluding 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 its 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, with notes of smokiness and gingerbread. It is taut, with a chalky structure and a very long finish.
This 744 DT magnum 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!
