Stunningly golden in color, an amazing display in the Gabriel Glas!

Nose has toasted Italian bread, ripe yellow apple, beeswax, wet chalk and old lemon. Mature nose.

Palate has nutty wheat bread, oxidized yellow apple, dried lemon pith and risen bread dough.

A fabulous bottle, likely can see 2021-2026, in proper storage with no concerns. I really wish we bought more Jacquesson, like Bérèche & Chartogne-Taillet, they always over-deliver for the price point.

264,292 750ml, 10,250 1500ml & 304 3000ml produced, this bottle was merely the 750ml 🤷🏻‍♂️

Vinous Footnote: In 2011, Jacquesson did not bottle any lieu-dits. All the best fruit went into the 739. The blend is 57% Chardonnay, 21% Pinot Noir and 22% Pinot Meunier, with 31% reserve wines. Disgorged October, 2015. Dosage was 3.5 grams per liter. (AG) (8/2016)

Really special delicious turkey cooking treat John and I picked up at a visit to the domaine racing through France a few years ago. Lovely, deep, satisfying and taut. @delectable cuvée #738

Monthly WTF guys blind tasting group. This month was our annual, and famed, Left Bank vs Right Bank theme. All wines served blind as usual. Started off with a Rosé and a champagne. Great night.

Seems to happen every time a champagne is opened that isn’t made in a clear style, we all discussed reductive vs oxidative. I think this toes the line of both styles. Roasted lemon and chalk but also slightly doughy and savory. Not quite creamy upfront, but full.

Loved this: dry, rich, textured. Chardonnay the main part of the blend, with Meunier and Pinot Noir. Drunk and enjoyed greatly with crab cakes.
