Champagne Jacquesson, Cuvee N° 742 Dégorgement Tardif Extra-Brut NV	93 Vinous The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 742 Dégorgement Tardif (2014 base) is another terrific wine from Jacquesson. Now at its first plateau of maturity, this is an exotic beauty. Kirsch, ginger, spice, menthol, licorice and dried herbs build nicely. There’s gorgeous depth and resonance here. Even so, my impression is that the 742 is a wine to drink rather than cellar, and a fine choice for readers who enjoy mature Champagnes. Dosage is 0.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: April, 2023 95 Wine Advocate Crafted from vines planted in Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers and Champillon (59%) and 41% in Avize and Oiry, the NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 742 Dégorgement Tardif, matured for 96 months on the lees under cork, reveals a subtle, complex bouquet of exotic fruits, honey, beeswax, ripe orchard fruits, chamomile and herbs. Medium to full-bodied, sappy and textured, it has a vinous, fleshy core of fruit, racy acids and a saline, delicate mid-palate, leading to a long, mineral and ethereal finish. Disgorged in April 2023 with 0.5 grams per liter dosage. This is a Champagne for gastronomy.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
