Jacquesson - Champagne Cuvée n° 744 Extra Brut cl75

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.

Vintage 2016 : Grapes harvested in Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers (55%), Avize and Oiry (45%). Winter and spring are extremely rainy. Temperatures, initially mild, drop from the end of February, with strong frosts until the end of April. The last part of spring is sunny, but cool while the summer is very hot and dry.
The harvest began on September 19th and ended on October 6th, with an intermediate break of a few days due to a very heterogeneous maturity. At the harvest, the grapes are ripe and perfectly healthy; the wines are aromatic and tasty, with a special mention for the Pinot noir, truly excellent. The assembly is completed with "vins de réserve".
