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 Jacquesson Avize Champ Caïn 2014 embodies a remarkable expression of the Avize terroir. Coming from a south-facing hillside, its limestone soil mixed with clay, sand and silt, enriched with Campanian chalk gravel, lends a singular depth and minerality to this Champagne. The 12,000 Chardonnay vines planted in 1962 on 1.30 hectares, pruned into Chablis, bear witness to a know-how and a history that are part of the pure Champagne tradition.
Harvested on September 22, 2014, this vintage displays controlled concentration with an alcohol level of 11% and acidity of 6.9 g/L, offering refined balance. This cuvée Extra-Brut (0 g/L) is available in 11,328 bottles and 406 magnums. Disgorgement in January 2024 completes this beautiful evolution, promising a tasting of great precision and intensity. A Champagne of seductive character and purity.
