In 1974, Jean Chiquet took over the House Jacquesson, founded in 1798, and his two sons Laurent and Jean-Hervé now run this House with its prestigious past.
Indeed, Jacquesson was Napoleon I's favorite Champagne. What's more, it was Adolphe Jacquesson who invented the wire muzzle and the little metal plate that goes on top to prevent the muzzle from sinking into the cork.
Laurent and Jean-Hervé Chiquet also manage their 28-hectare vineyard located in the classified Grand Cru villages of Aÿ, Oiry and Avize and the classified Premier Cru villages of Dizy and Hautvillers. Their vineyard supplies are also supplemented by purchases of Grands Crus and Premiers Crus. The Champagnes Jacquesson are therefore only Champagnes Premier and/or Grands Crus exclusively, a signature of this House's determination to maintain very high quality.
Today Champagne Jacquesson has become part of Artémis Domaines, the wine brands arm of the Artémis investment group founded by François Pinault (Château Latour, Domaine Eugénie, Clos de Tart, Château Grillet, ...). Commercial management of the brand returns to Jean GaranDeau (formerly of Krug), with Jean Hervé Chiquet retaining a seat on the board.
The Champagne Jacquesson 745 is made from the 2017 harvest, from the terroirs of Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers (66%), as well as Avize and Oiry (34%). The year 2017 was marked by an exceptionally Secs winter and spring, followed by a mild start to spring. However, in April, destructive frosts ravaged the vineyards, particularly Côte des blancs.
Temperatures then rose again, offering pleasant weather until July. The end of the season was warm but very rainy. Harvesting began on September 4 and ended on September 13, with rigorous sorting to obtain ripe, healthy grapes, despite the low volume of the crop.
The wines obtained are distinguished by their richness and density, and the cuvée was completed by a few wines from Réserve, with a dosage of 0.75 g/L.
