NV Jacquesson Cuvee 747 Extra Brut, Champagne, France (750ml)

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

Jacquesson’s Cuve 747 is a highly refined Champagne with fruity and mineral notes. The nose evokes citrus fruits, pastries and brioche notes. The palate is intense, full with a nice mineral tension and a very long vibrant finish.

TASTING NOTES:

The NV Extra-Brut Cuve No. 747 marries textural richness with notable vibrancy. Lemon confit, mint, white pepper, tangerine peel and graphite lend energy throughout. All the elements are very nicely balanced. I especially admire the textural depth here. Spring frost was particularly damaging to the Chardonnay, so the blend is distinctly Pinot-leaning in this release.
