The Champagne CUVÉE n° 742 Late Disgorgement Extra-Brut by Jacquesson is a cuvée of great personality, designed to offer an evolved and refined experience. The long aging on the lees, combined with late disgorgement, provides a complex and deep profile, where the typical freshness of Champagne meets tertiary notes and a pleasant salty tension. It is a bottle that tells the story of time, artisanal care, and the identity of the Maison, ideal for those seeking an authoritative and distinctive Champagne.
Territory and wine style
The Cuvée n° 742 is born from grapes harvested in the 2014 vintage, with a composition that combines parcels from Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers, Avize, and Oiry. The heart of the blend is dominated by Chardonnay, accompanied by the other historic grapes of Champagne, in a balance that enhances freshness, precision, and depth. The work in the cellar involves vinification and aging in wooden barrels on the lees, without filtration or clarification, a choice that contributes to delivering a more expressive and multifaceted wine. The very low dosage, equal to 0.5 g/l, confirms its Extra-Brut character and gastronomic vocation.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents a luminous and refined texture, capable of evolving towards more mature and complex nuances thanks to the long aging. On the nose, tertiary sensations emerge, hints of dried fruit, bread crust, evolved floral notes, and a saline trait that recalls the territory. On the palate, it is tense, precise, and harmonious, with a fine bubble, great balance between acidity and body, and a savory, long, and clear finish. The style is elegant yet incisive, with a gustatory depth that makes the Champagne CUVÉE n° 742 Late Disgorgement Extra-Brut particularly engaging.
Recommended pairings
This Champagne shines with dishes that respect its complexity and finesse: raw seafood, oysters, fish tartare, shellfish, sashimi, and fish carpaccios are excellent choices.
