Disgorged in February 2021 with 0.75 grams per liter dosage, the NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 744 is based on the 2016 vintage. Exhibiting complex aromas of orange oil, crisp stone fruit, fenugreek and subtle hints of yellow Chartreuse, it’s medium to full-bodied, pillowy and seamless, with terrific depth at the core, lively acids and a pinpoint mousse. Simultaneously vivid but replete with sapid nuance, this new release throws into relief all the work the Jacquesson brothers have made in the vineyards and cellar over the last two decades.

Varietal

Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Region

Champagne

The beautiful rolling hillsides of the Champagne region of France have, for hundreds of years, been producing many of the world's most famous wines. The sparkling white wines to come out of Champagne's prestigious wineries have conquered the world, and are drank in celebration across the globe. The vast majority of the region is under vine, and grows predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals, which are usually blended together by master wine-makers in order to make their recognizable and widely loved produce. The north-easterly region of Champagne has a relatively cool climate, and quite a lot of rainfall, making it far from ideal for ripening grapes. However, the presence of heavily forested areas in the region helps maintain a balanced temperature, and the generations of expertise the wineries hold clearly produces excellent results in spite of the climatic problems.

Decanter

Based on the 2016 vintage, cuvée no. 744 offers an elegant, floral and toasty bouquet with white fruits, peach, lemon, and herbs. Pure and clean on the palate, this is a vibrant, energetic and racy Champagne. Grapes are sourced from Aÿ, Dizy, and Hauvtilliers (55% of the crop) and Avize and Oiry (45% of the crop). Disgorged: November 2020. Dosage: 0.75 g/L.

James Suckling

A tangy and intense Champagne with apricots and biscuits and orange-like acidity. Full-bodied with depth and verticality that takes you deep down the palate. Electric finish. Very dry at the end with lovely bitterness. Baked apples. 0.75 g/L dosage. Disgorged August 2021. Based on 2016. 45% chardonnay, 35% pinot noir and 20% pinot meunier. Drink now.

There is noticeable if discreet secondary character to the yeasty and toasty aromas of ripe pear, apple and a touch of citrus confit. The vibrant and delicious middle weight flavors possess a moderately firm and fine mousse that adds a sense of energy to the agreeably clean, dry and sneaky long finish. This is on the richer side though it could use a bit more depth and as such I would be inclined to hold it for a few years first.

The NV Cuvée No. 744 Grand Vin is a bright, taut Champagne that is going to need at least a few years to come together. This is one of the more reticent editions of the Cuvée I have tasted in a very long time. Citrus, crushed rocks and white flowers add an attractive upper register. The Chardonnay feels quite expressive today. Disgorged: January, 2021.
