Jacquesson
Jacquesson - Champagne Cuvée n° 743 Extra Brut cl75
Description |
The blending of wines from the same vintage, coming from dozens of parcels, is completed with some of their predecessors: the "vins de réserve", kept in the cellar for several years. In this process it becomes essential to capture the best of each vintage, without denying the variations specific to each harvest. The "Cuvées" are numbered to date them and to highlight their different personalities. 2015 vintage : grapes harvested in Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers (60%), Avize and Oiry (40%). The winter and much of the spring were mild and rainy. A dry period followed, with peaks of heat until mid-August. The season ended with alternating cool/humid and hot/dry days. The harvest began on September 10 and ended on the last day of the month. The harvest is very homogeneous, with healthy and perfectly ripe bunches and with the right yield, with a good level of acidity. A splendid vintage, therefore. The blend is completed with "vins de réserve". |
