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.
Cuvée N°747 from Jacquesson is a vibrant testament to the subtleties of Champagne terroir, expressed here through the 2019 harvest which was marked by weather conditions ranging from a mild and dry winter to a spring marked by severe frosts. These significantly reduced Chardonnay yields, leading to a dominance of Pinots in this vintage. A scorching summer added further challenges, but as a testament to the resilience of the Jacquesson vineyard, the grapes produced exceptional juice quality.
The harvest was picked at optimum ripeness, producing wines that stand out for their structure, balance and complexity. Jacquesson's meticulous approach to viticulture, respecting parcel diversity and soil, as well as traditional winemaking methods, with no filtering or fining and aging in foudres on lees, is clearly evident in the quality of this Champagne.
With a subtle dosage of 1.5 gr/l, Cuvée N°747 reveals a remarkable complexity accentuated by the mineral notes distinctive of the terroirs of Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers and Champillon. The whole is structured, balanced and lingers for a long time.
