Base vintage
2019 - This composition reflects Jacquesson's focus on expressing the character of the base vintage and their vineyard holdings, primarily located in Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers, Avize, and Oiry.
Tasting notes
The wine presents a brilliant pale gold hue, accompanied by a fine, persistent mousse. On the nose, it offers an elegant bouquet of lemon confit, tangerine peel, white pepper, and subtle hints of mint and graphite. The palate is medium to full-bodied, displaying a harmonious balance between vibrant acidity and a vinous core of fruit. A delicate saline finish adds complexity and length, reflecting the wine's phenolic richness and tension.
Pairing Suggestions
This Extra Brut Champagne is wonderfully versatile at the table. Its crisp acidity and mineral tension make it a perfect match for delicate dishes such as oysters, shellfish, and sushi. It also pairs beautifully with lightly spiced Asian cuisine, enhancing umami and aromatic flavors. For a cheese course, try it with aged, creamy selections like Comté or Parmigiano-Reggiano—its brightness cuts through richness effortlessly.
More About The Winery
Founded in the 18th century, Champagne Jacquesson is today a beacon of modernity under the visionary leadership of Laurent and Jean-Hervé Chiquet. Rejecting chemical herbicides and the traditional pursuit of a fixed “house style,” the brothers revolutionized Champagne with their “700 Series” cuvées—each numbered release reflecting the unique character of a single vintage, starting with Cuvée 728 in 2000.
The result is Champagne of purity, minerality, and transparency, consistently acclaimed by critics such as Peter Liem, who calls the wines “among the best non-vintage bruts on the market.”
Alongside the 700 Series, Jacquesson also crafts tiny-production, single-vineyard Champagnes—including Champ Caïn, Corne Bautray, Vauzelle Terme, and Terres Rouges—as well as rare late-disgorgement vintages aged for over 15 years in the cellars.
Jacquesson is not just a Champagne—it is a philosophy: expression over consistency, terroir over tradition.
