OG house. In 1843 Krug left Jacquesson to form his own house. Herbicide-free, terroir-based philosophy. It also retired, after 150 years, its NV blend and replaced it with a single-vintage-based cuvée, which changes yearly. And next came its terroir-based cuvées, an unprecedented move for a traditional house.
Instead of making a consistent wine every year, they set out to make the best possible blend each vintage. Jacquesson chose expression over consistency.
With the 2000 vintage, Jacquesson created a stir when they announced that its 150-year-old non-vintage Perfection Brut label would be retired and replaced with a numbered, vintage-based cuvée (the first being ‘728’). Each year, a new-subsequently numbered-cuvée is released, with Cuvée No. 734 based on the 2006 vintage, Cuvée No. 733 on the 2005 vintage, etc. — 2 years ago
Juicy and delicious. Slightly effervescent. A bit of melon and starfruit. Sweet on the nose but really bright and citrusy. — 2 years ago

Pear and apple on the nose. Crisp and fruity then opens up to a full bodied chocolate semi sweetness. — 2 years ago
Great frizzante. Very light and bubbly with substance like kombucha. I was drink this at the pool. Enjoyed at GroSperi in CPH. — 4 years ago
Not a fan. Not crisp at all. Too sweet. Too yeasty. March 2024 at Gramercy Tavern. — 2 years ago
Good wine, love the story/ wine maker the most.
(From the beginning she was best to use the mechanisms of biodaynamic viticulture, since 2007 she has been certified and part of the famous winegrowers' association "Renaissance des Appellations" by Nicolas Joly with very strict access criteria. Although it mostly produces single vintage champagnes, these are not shown as vintage champagne, because in isolated cases it can combine two vintages. The champagnes are usually produced without a dosage.) — 2 years ago
