Shipping informations
749 perfectly illustrates what sets Jacquesson apart amongst the great Champagne houses: an identity built around the precision of the terroirs, the ageing process in oak and minimal dosage. The 2021 vintage lends it remarkable freshness, whilst the 28 per cent reserve wines enrich its texture and complexity. A particularly appealing fine-dining champagne for connoisseurs of crisp, briny and expressive cuvées, capable of complementing a fine meal just as much as continuing to develop in the cellar.
The sommelier info
Jacquesson 749 Champagne combines fresh citrus, white flowers and white-fleshed fruits with hints of brioche and almond. Its finely crafted palate blends chalky tension, a delicately creamy texture and elegant vinosity, leading to a beautifully lingering, briny finish. The bouquet combines lemon zest, white fruits and delicate flowers with hints of fresh brioche and almond. A toasty note adds depth without masking the brightness of the citrus.
On the palate, it has a lively and finely crafted attack, supported by fine effervescence and a subtly creamy texture. The Chardonnay imparts its freshness and mineral tension, whilst the Pinots provide greater structure and vinous character. The finish lingers with a particularly mouth-watering saline sensation.
Cuvée 749 is primarily made from the 2021 harvest. 72 per cent of the grapes come from the terroirs of Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers and Champillon, and 28 per cent from Avize and Oiry, on the Côte des Blancs. The blend combines Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, with the Chardonnay character particularly prominent. It incorporates 28 per cent reserve wines from cuvées 748 to 743, with the exception of 745.
The wines are vinified and matured in oak casks, without fining or filtration. This approach preserves their body and complexity whilst allowing the different terroirs to express themselves.
The final dosage of just 2 g/L places this cuvée in the Extra-Brut category and highlights its natural freshness.

The domain
Maison Jacquesson has always differentiated itself from other Champagne Houses thanks to its parcelmaking process. The cuvée n°700 and those that followed were born from this desire to produce champagnes of character, little dosed and bred in oak lightning. Jacquesson is (re)recognised worldwide and was the favorite champagne of Emperor Napoleon I.
THE BEGINNINGS OF THE JACQUESSON HOUSE
Created in 1798 by Claude Jacquesson and his son Memmie, this Champagne House located in Dizy in the Marne Valley, quickly grew rapidly. Cellars were also dug in the Mont Saint Michel hill to ensure the sustainable production of champagne. A gold medal later, Jacquesson was raised among the most prestigious Champagne Houses during the July monarchy. In 1832, Memmie’s son Adolphe Jacquesson joined the company and in 1844 became the inventor of the muzzle and the champagne capsule. He also created a bottle rinse machine and a light reflection system to illuminate the cellars. Jacquesson was bought in 1974 by the Chiquet family.
THE JACQUESSON STYLE
The Jacquesson vineyard extends over 28 hectares, in the Marne Valley with its Grand Cru A and its two Premiers Crus Dizy and Hautvilliers as well as on the Côte des Blancs with its two Grands Crus Avise and Oiry. Maison Jacquesson favours traditional viticulture, a rather short size and organic treatments where possible. The soils are ploughed and grassed in the rows of vines, with regard to the vinification stages, the clearing remains light and no chaptalisation is carried out. An ageing in ancient oak lightning is then carried out for most Jacquesson cuvées. Here are the key steps that bring this personal touch to Jacquesson Champagnes.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF CHAMPAGNE JACQUESSON
The Jacquesson Champagne House stands out for its famous "Cuvée 700", a concept that aims to produce a champagne from a specific vintage (with a base of reserve wines for structure), unlike the non-vintage brut champagnes we all know. A small presentation of the Jacquesson cuvées is required: the cuvée 745 comes from the 2017 harvest on the terroirs of the Vallée de la Marne mainly in blending with the Côte des Blancs. It is a rich champagne, with a lot of matter in the mouth and complexity. The cuvée 738 Dégorgement Tardif aged for 96 months on lees and under cork. It has a very good custody potential, as well as a remarkable freshness. Certainly very great Jacquesson champagnes!
