Shipping informations
The Jacquesson Extra-Brut Cuvée 749 Magnum Champagne perfectly captures the character of the 2021 harvest, enriched with 28 per cent reserve wines from several previous vintages. This blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, vinified and matured in oak casks without fining or filtration, combines chalky freshness, citrus notes and delicate brioche-like nuances. Presented in a 150 cl magnum and dosed at just 2 g/L, it captivates with its elegant texture, depth and particularly lingering, briny finish.
The sommelier info
749 epitomises everything that makes Jacquesson unique: a quest for precision, remarkable craftsmanship in the creation of reserve wines, and a true expression of the terroir. In magnum format, this cuvée becomes even more appealing to connoisseurs of fine dining champagnes, thanks to its generally more gradual development and a format that is ideal for special occasions. A distinguished champagne, whose finesse and mineral tension will complement a fine meal just as well as a special tasting experience.

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!
