Champagne Jacquesson, Cuvee N° 741 Dégorgement Tardif Extra Brut

In this release, the Pinot Noir is especially expressive and gives the wine a measure of textural breadth that is unusual for a young 700-series Champagne. Soft contours and a host of toasty, resonant flavors give the 741 its distinctive feel. Best of all, the 741 will drink well upon release.

Unfurling in the glass with aromas of white flowers, fresh nectarine and peach, complemented by hints of warm biscuits and walnut oil, it’s medium to fullbodied, vinous and concentrated, with a textural attack that gives way to a lively, focused core that’s underpinned by a bright spine of acidity, concluding with a long and sapid finish. Complex, expressive and beautifully balanced, this is a superb wine from Jacquesson.

Based on the 2013 vintage, disgorged in April 2022 without dosage and matured 94 months on the lees under cork, the NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 741 Dégorgement Tardif reveals a complex, spicy bouquet with aromas of lemon oil, dried flowers, honey, pastry, ripe orchard fruit and smoke. It’s medium to full-bodied, enveloping and fleshy, with a delicate, crystalline texture and a tension-filled, ethereal quality along with high acidity, a sign of a cool-weather vintage. Although already thoroughly enjoyable, it should age well over the next five to eight years.
