Product Description:
Cuvée No. 747 Extra Brut NV is a beautiful expression of Jacquesson’s commitment to blending wines from multiple vintages to create a champagne of exceptional balance and complexity. The 747 blend is primarily based on the 2019 harvest (75%) from the renowned vineyards of Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers, and Champillon, with additional reserve wines from previous years to add richness and depth. The wine undergoes extended aging, which contributes to its remarkable complexity, while a dosage of just 1.5 g/l ensures the wine retains its purity and freshness.
The 747 is a champagne that is rich yet vibrant, with expressive fruit flavours and a refined structure. The nose opens with a bright bouquet of citrus fruits, apple blossom, and a touch of spice, while the palate is full of dried fruit, honeyed richness, and soft vanilla. The finish is long and structured, with a delightful minerality and a subtle touch of oak. It’s an elegant, versatile champagne that can be enjoyed now, or allowed to develop further with age.
