Jul 8th, 2023If you want to know what my style of champagne is, look no further. A pale shade of lemon in the glass with pretty effusive perlage to begin with. The nose is outrageous right out of the gate with citrus aromas. Golden apples and lemons abound with marzipan complimenting. Grapefruit really comes alive after some time in the glass with more fresh biscuits and mild spice. Honeydew and melon notes are superb here.
These non vintage vintage champagnes from Jacquesson have been on my radar for quite some time. Though I think they’re on everyone’s radar to be honest. Deliciously stark acidity and hyper focused with a minuscule dosage. Based on the 2016 and composed of 45/35/20 CH/PN/PM from Dizy, Ay, Hautvillers, Oiry, and Avize. Bright and vivid, this is so pure and fresh with a great amount of depth.
Reserve wines make all the difference in champagne. Such profundity and a nice level of complexity to be found here. Savory notes on the palate to match the chalky minerality. A feast for the senses, the elegance and purity from this cuvée really sets it apart. I don’t need to tell anyone to go grab these, because everything Jacquesson produces is already hard to come by.
