Champagne Jacquesson 745 Extra Brut

Champagne Jacquesson 745

Until 1999, the yearless Brut reigned supreme throughout Champagne. An era in his image: without beginning and without end. And everything has changed:

“Why aim for the media when we can achieve excellence?”

The Domaine then proclaimed its independence, illustrated in its Manifesto of 700: to make the best possible blend every year. Textures, vines, terroir, human heart and soul: the whole estate had to come together in a single bottle, in the spirit of a vintage, with reserve wines, for a single Champagne, different every year, each year sublimated.

Not exactly the same, nor another.

The revolution surprised the court and enchanted the palaces.

Since then, each bottle has carried the 3 figures of his birth as a banner of freedom, starting with the estate’s 728 cuvées.

Cuvée N ° 745

The assembly of wines from the same vintage, coming from dozens of plots, is completed with some of their predecessors: the “vins de réserve”, stored in the cellar for several years. In this process it becomes essential to capture the best of each vintage, avoiding denying the variations of each crop.

The Cuvées are numbered to date them and to highlight their different personalities.

Vintage 2017: grapes harvested in Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers (66%), Avize and Oiry (34%). Winter and spring are exceptionally dry, early spring is mild, but in April some late frosts devastate the vineyards, especially in the Côte des Blancs. Temperatures rise and the weather is fine until July. The end of the season is hot but very rainy.

The harvest began on September 4th and ended on the 13th. A rigorous selection of the grapes generates a low yield but allows to obtain ripe and healthy bunches. The wines are rich and dense and the Cuvée is completed with some “vins de réserve”.

Dosage: 0.75 gr / l.
