NV Jacquesson Cuvée No. 743 Dégorgement Tardif

2015. 60% of the harvest came from Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers and Champillon and 40% from Avize and Oiry. Winter and much of spring were wet and mild. This was followed by a period of drought and heatwaves, which lasted until mid-August. Alternating periods of wet and cool conditions and hot, dry weather characterised the rest of the growing season. We harvested a perfectly ripe and healthy crop from 10th to 30th September. Yields were modest, acidity levels adequate, and the quality consistently high, making this a truly splendid harvest. We can really feel the essence of Pinot in this blend, which is made up of reserve wines from the cuvées N°742 to 735. Aged 89 months on the lees with a cork closure. We produced 19,900 bottles, along with 1,009 magnums. The wine was disgorged in March 2024 and bottled with zero dosage. – Champagne Jacquesson
