NV Jacquesson Cuvee 745

Coming from the base vintage of 2017, which was a much cooler, more challenging vintage, the NV Champagne Cuvée 745 includes a bit more Chardonnay (almost 60%), with a reduced amount of Meunier due to the vintage, and includes between 20-25% reserve wine. Pouring a rich straw golden hue, after a minute or so, it opens in the glass to savory aromas of toast, fresh walnut, savory herbs, and lemon oils. Medium-bodied, it’s a more autumnal wine, with an elegant mousse and a rounded mouthfeel, still retaining a richness that’s impressive. Drink 2024-2036. 0.75 grams per liter dosage.
