Top Notes For

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The Cuvée 745 pours a golden color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of yellow apple, raspberry, lemon curd, marzipan, hazelnut, pistachio, brioche, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long with chalky minerals and lovely, creamy texture. Impressive stuff with a 2017 base vintage. Drink now through 2037.

I’m at a 92+ here. 53% Chardonnay/ 30% Pinot Noir/ 17% Pinot Meunier aged four years in fine lees and finished with a 0.75 grams per liter dosage. Disgorged Dec 2021.

Always been a fan of Jacquesson champagnes, but these are getting to a price where I’m not sure the value is there for me much longer (not sure if it’s due to the Chiquet brothers selling the brand a few years ago).

The 745 series is based on the challenging 2017 vintage. Even with the near zero dosage, there is good depth and complexity here from a fruit standpoint (not austere for austere sake). Aromatically, it’s bright with lemon zest, pear, ginger and honey-dipped apple. Benefitted from a bit of air time in the bottle and not serving too cold…apple turns to a faint spiced cider profile, with lemon cream, sea salt, hint of yeast, and a classical chalky-limestone finish.
