Cuvée N°741 Dégorgement Tardif comes from 2013 vintage. The winter was very cold and snowy, the spring and early summer remained cold and wet, resulting in some coulure and millerandage and delaying flowering and ripening. August and September were warmer and drier, allowing a late but very good harvest. The Pinot Noir from Aÿ and Dizy and the Chardonnay from Avize were particularly successful. This Champagne has spent 94 month on the lees. Only 14,609 bottles were produced. Dosage: 0 g/l.
Serve at 8-10 °C with seafood, white meat dishes, mature cheeses with white mould.
The house was founded in 1798 by Memmie Jacquesson. Jacquesson is small producer based in Dizy, Champagne. Only Champagne Salon is smaller of the elite houses. Production is around 280,000 bottles per annumm and are made with 78% of grapes from their own 28 hectare estate, the rest is bought in from growers they know well. The 28ha domaine comprises 11ha in Avize and Oiry, some 13ha spread over Aÿ, Hautvillers, Dizy and Mareuil-su-Aÿ and a further 4ha in the Vallée de l'Ardre (a tributary of the Vesle, north-west of the Marne). Current owners, brothers, Jean-Hervé and Laurent Chiquet place a huge emphasis on the quality of the vineyards. Recently methods have changed to be organic, almost all Jacquesson wines ferment in old, large-sized oak barrels, which yield little wood aroma to the wine. Instead of being limited to labelling their non vintage champagnes NV, Jacquesson have decided to change the name of their cuvée every year.
