Champagne Jacquesson Extra-Brut Cuvée n° 747 Champagne

The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 747 (2019 base) marries textural richness with notable vibrancy. Lemon confit, mint, white pepper, tangerine peel and graphite lend energy throughout. All the elements are very nicely balanced. I especially admire the textural depth here. Spring frost was particularly damaging to the Chardonnay, so the blend is distinctly Pinot-leaning in this release. Dosage is 1.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: October 2023. Drinking window: 2024-2034. Score - 93. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, March 26, 2024) The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 747 (2019 base) marries textural richness with notable vibrancy.
