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.
Situated on a gently sloping east-facing hillside, this vineyard gives Pinot Noir its elegance and assertive structure. Planted in 1993 on 1.33 hectares and permanently cordon de Royat pruned, the 12,000 vines reveal all the richness of this grape variety, sublimated by an early harvest carried out on September 20, 2014. This vintage boasts precise balance, with 10.90% alcohol and 8.1 g/L acidity, bringing freshness and tension. Production is limited to 2,504 bottles and 154 magnums, with dosage at 0 g/L, highlighting the purity and expression Brute of the terroir. Disgorgement March 2023
