Cuvée 747

Jacquesson, founded in 1798 in Dizy, claims to be the oldest independent Champagne house. Its fame grew with a rumored favor from Napoleon. After a decline following Adolphe Jacquesson’s death, Jean Chiquet bought it in 1974, moving it to the family estate in 1978. Since 1988, Jean-Hervé and Laurent Chiquet have restored its prestige; in 2005 it was rated the third-best Champagne house after Bollinger and Krug. Base wines are vinified in large old oak casks, with smaller 500-liter casks used for aging or reserves.

Maison Jacquesson's Cuvée 747 comes from the 2019 harvest, a small but exceptional harvest.

A blend of Chardonnay with predominance of Pinots, this cuvée shows citrus and brioche on the nose. The bubbles are fine and airy. On the palate, it is elegant, with white fruit, subtle wood, and mineral notes, offering a structured, complex, and well-balanced profile.
