Jacquesson Champagne Extra-Brut Cuvée N°743 Dégorgement Tardif

Jacquesson Extra-Brut Cuvée N°743 Dégorgement Tardif is a limited late-disgorged release of the house’s numbered Champagne, made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. “Dégorgement Tardif” means the bottles spend longer on their lees before disgorgement, giving the wine extra time to develop complexity and a more refined mousse.

Tasting Notes
The extended lees ageing is likely to bring a fine, persistent bead and layered aromas of citrus and orchard fruit alongside notes of brioche, toasted nuts and pastry. On the palate, expect a dry, focused style with fresh acidity, savoury depth and a lingering finish; the exact tasting profile will vary with the blend and disgorgement date. This Champagne is ready to enjoy now, while its structure and lees-derived complexity should also allow it to develop further over the next few years if stored well.

Production
Dégorgement Tardif is Jacquesson’s practice of holding selected bottles longer on their lees after the second fermentation, before removing the sediment and preparing them for release. The information provided does not specify the vineyard sites, harvest methods, exact lees-ageing period or vinification details for N°743; the supplied reference to 96 months concerns N°739 and should not be assumed to apply to this cuvée.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, with oysters, shellfish, seared scallops or roast chicken. Its acidity and dry finish also suit aged hard cheeses and savoury snacks. Decanting is not essential; pour into a Champagne glass and allow it a little time to open in the glass.

Producer
Founded in 1798, Jacquesson is one of Champagne’s historic houses, based in Dizy. It is particularly known for its numbered 700-series cuvées, which express the character of each base harvest while drawing on reserve wines for continuity. The house’s emphasis on individual cuvée identity and extended ageing has made it a respected name among Champagne enthusiasts.
