Jacquesson Cuvée 743 Dégorgement Tardif is a late-disgorged Champagne based on the 2015 vintage, having spent additional years maturing in the house cellars. The 2015 harvest provided a powerful and structured base, which has been further refined by the extended contact with the lees. This DT release offers a complex and savoury profile, featuring notes of dried fruits, toasted brioche and honey. The palate is expansive, yet it retains a sharp, chalky acidity that defines the Jacquesson style. By allowing the wine to mature for a decade before this release, the estate has achieved a harmony between primary fruit energy and sophisticated autolytic depth.
