Description

Unique for NV, Jacquesson has a tradition of crafting a new blend with each iteration. The idea for the series came in 1998 when Laurent and Jean-Herve were working on the 1997 vintage. They made a blend that they really loved with the majority of the blend being Chardonnay. But they knew they could not reproduce this same blend every year and were not happy with this notion and so the decision was made to not produce a consistent style any longer.

The Cuvee No 747 embodies the vintage of 2019. 75% of the harvest came from Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers, Champillon and 25% from Avize and Oiry. Winter was mild and dry. Spring frost struck three times and mainly caused damage to our Chardonnay vines, hence the predominance of the Pinots in this cuvee. Summer was dry with heatwaves that caused sunburn. We harvested a very high-quality crop with moderate yields from 12th to 22nd September. The wines are structured, balanced, long and complex. Respectful soil management and plant cultivation methods with the aim of expressing plot diversity. Vinification and ageing in large wooden vats on the lees without either filtration or fining. Dosage: 1.5g/l
