Jacquesson, Champagne, Cuvee No.732, Brut The name of Jacquesson’s nv brut changes with each successive base wine, the current release being No. 732. The nose features floral notes, sweet in nature, like jasmine with a sense of candied fruits – very pretty. The mouth is very dense, with fresh and baked fruit flavors. While there is a vivid nerve of acidity, the wine is not lean but rather fills every bit of your palate and has great length. This is a great value. The fruit is all Grand and Premier Cru from the Grande Vallee de la Marne and the Cote des Blancs. The juice is all cuvee from 39% Chardonnay, 36% Pinot Meunier and 25% Pinot Noir. The base wine is from the 2004 harvest and was fermented in casks. 21% of the final blend is from reserves; the wine was disgorged in the first quarter of 2007 and the dosage was 3.5 grams per litre.
