Extra-Brut Cuvée n°749
- ----
- Champagne
This small estate, well known to the initiated, shines at the top of the Champagne hierarchy. Coming from a 31 ha vineyard, its cuvées render with finesse and purity the potential of their respective terroirs. Coming from 3 grands crus and 2 premiers crus, elaborated only from the first press juices, vinified in tuns, unfiltered and hardly dosed, the 700 cuvées are great Champagne wines offering a remarkable ageing potential. Company rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France's annual guide.
The number corresponds to the vintage on the basis of which the cuvée is elaborated (2021 for Cuvée 749) completed with some reserve wines.
Since January 2023, the Maison Jacquesson belongs to Mr. Pinault (Latour in Bordeaux, Clos de Tart in Burgundy, Château-Grillet in the Rhône, etc.).
The "No. 749" vintage in the press :
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 93/100 “Cuvée 749, made from the 2021 vintage, remains cool, with an almost Loire-like character that evokes white fruits — well-balanced, with a slender structure.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - May 2026) : 94/100 "The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 749 (base 2021) is laced with hints of tropical fruit, dried flowers, chamomile, passion fruit and lightly honeyed overtones. Open-knit aromatics are immediately expansive, giving the wine palpable textural breadth. The No. 749 is soft, open-knit and very easy to drink."

Cuvée "744 DT" in the reviews:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 95/100 Coup de ♥
Vinous (A. Galloni - May 2026) : 94/100 "The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 744 Dégorgement Tardif (base 2016) is an absolutely gorgeous Champagne to drink now and over the next decade or so. Tropical inflections, apricot, white flowers, truffle and burnt sugar lend notable exoticism. The No. 744 is delicate, light on its feet and wonderfully expressive, all qualities that add to its immediacy and overall appeal. This is very pretty—it's as much wine as it is Champagne."

Cuvée "Dizy-Terres Rouges Premier Cru 2015" in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 94/100 “The 2015 Extra Brut Dizy-Terres Rouges Premier Cru is Bright, airy and nicely lifted. It's an especially floral, mid-weight expressio of Pinot Noir. Crushed flowers, dried herbs, spice, cedar and tobacco give the 2015 a strong aromatic presence. Although a bit light, the 2015 is very nicely delineated and also avoids the assertive vegetal notes that afflict so manny wines in this vintage. Bottled with no dosage."
