      Jacquesson’s Cuvée No. 742 Extra Brut NV is a true testament to the art of blending, combining wines from multiple years to create a champagne that is both complex and balanced. The 742 blend is primarily based on the 2014 harvest (59% of the blend) from top Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in Aÿ, Dizy, and Hautvillers, with additional reserve wines added to enhance depth and ensure consistency year after year. The grapes used are a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, with a dosage of just 1.5 g/l, offering a precise and pure champagne experience.

      The result is a wine that offers depth, freshness, and a rich complexity—showcasing a beautifully delicate balance of fruit, spice, and minerality. The subtle aromas of orchard fruits, citrus, and almond are enhanced by a touch of brioche and a slight floral hint, which gives way to a finely textured palate with crisp acidity and a long, harmonious finish. The wine is aged on its lees for an extended period, which adds layers of complexity and richness. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for further aging, Cuvée No. 742 will continue to evolve beautifully.

      Jacquesson Cuvée No. 742 Extra Brut NV

      The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 742 (2014 base) has really opened up since I last tasted it about a year ago. The Pinot is so expressive in the No. 742, a Champagne built on texture and resonance. Dried pear, dried flowers, plum and spice fill out the wine's frame effortlessly, but the 742 truly shines with a bit of air, which seems to accent its freshness. Readers looking for a fine grower Champagne to drink now will find much to like. The blend is 59% Pinot Noir (from Aÿ, Dizy and Hautvillers) and 41% Chardonnay (from Avize and Oiry). Disgorged January 2019. Dosage is 1.5 grams per liter. Drink 2020-2030.

      A creamy and harmonious version, with a fragrant skein of spice that unwinds through flavors of raspberry tart, lemon pastry cream, lime blossom and candied ginger. Lightly mouthwatering on the lingering, spiced finish. Disgorged July 2018.

      — Wine Spectator - 93 Points

      Based on the 2014 vintage and disgorged with 1.5 grams per liter dosage in July 2018, Jacquesson's NV Extra Brut Cuvée No. 742 continues the house's pioneering series of cuvées that employ reserve wines not in pursuit of a constant "house style" but merely with the aim of complementing each base vintage to maximize its potential. Wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of walnut oil, dried white flowers, saffron, citrus oil and crisp orchard fruit, along with a delicate top note of fino sherry, it's medium to full-bodied, sapid and incisive, with superb concentration, racy acids and a long, resonant finish. I found it irresistible. Drink 2019-2029.
