Champagne Jacquesson - Cuvee n 745 Extra Brut Magnum

Wine Region: Champagne - France

Grape: Chardonnay 43%, Pinot Meunier 30%, Pinot Noir 27%.

Tasting notes: Cuvee 745 from the Maison Jacquesson, is from the 2017 harvest, a low volume harvest, but with rich and dense wines. Beautiful Extra-Brut champagne (0.75g/l), it is made from 55% of the terroirs of Aÿ, Dizy and Hautvillers and 45% of those of Avize and Oiry.

One of the "700" numbered vintages, famous for their finesse, purity and incredible ageing potential. Result of a blend of Chardonnay at 43%, Meunier at 30% and Pinot Noir at 27%, the nose unveils notes of citrus fruits, and brioche. Its bubble is of a great finesse, and air. The mouth is very elegant, on white fruits, with a slightly woody and mineral touch. A fine, complex and tense champagne profile.

A very great champagne that this 745, that you can enjoy as a chic aperitif, with shellfish, poultry, or a tasty sheep's cheese.
