The Jacquesson estate is one of the most renowned in Champagne. Boasting over 200 years of history, the terroir-focused winery has been farming without herbicides or chemicals for decades, far before it was fashionable to do so. In the same vein, rather than favoring consistent flavor profiles, Jacquesson embraces the variations brought from each vintage, and has long adopted a vintage-forward expression over one of steady ‘house’ blend since the year 2000.

(Note: The first vintage to adopt this mentality was the cuvée 728; since then, the cuvée number has increased by one digit per year.) However, the thread that ties all of the numbered cuvées together is that they always use all three main grape varieties, are vinified in old oak barrels, and use a small percentage of reserve wine. Jacquesson is also known for its single-vineyard bottlings and large number of old, late-released bottles.
