Jacquesson Extra Brut N°749

France / Champagne / Dizy

With the Extra Brut Cuvée N°749, Jacquesson continues its famous “700 series,” where each year the character of a specific base vintage is highlighted. The N°749 is predominantly based on the 2021 vintage and is complemented by carefully selected reserve wines. The blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and a small proportion of Meunier is largely aged in large wooden barrels and disgorged as Extra Brut with a very low dosage of around 2 g/l – a conscious step towards the greatest possible transparency of terroir and vintage.

In the glass, the N°749 presents itself in pale gold with fine, persistent perlage. The nose reveals notes of citrus zest, white peach, ripe apples, and white flowers, underpinned by a hint of brioche, toasted nuts, and delicate chalkiness. On the palate, the champagne is precise, taut, and mineral, with a firm yet finely integrated acidity, clear fruit, and great length. The dry, purist style allows the depth and complexity of the cuvée to shine through, making it an ideal partner for seafood, fish dishes, and purist gourmet cuisine – or for champagne lovers seeking the unadulterated expression of a great house.
