Description
 
The Jacquesson 740 is another worthy addition to the stunning 700 series from Jacquesson. It is based on the 2012 vintage, which Jancis Robinson called an "exceptional" year for Champagne, that resulted in "exemplary" maturity. Jacquesson's hugely successful 700 series differs from other non-vintage Champagnes. Each release aiming to retain the best characteristics of each harvest, while also preserving the variations each year brings. In the words of the house "we strive for excellence, as opposed to consistency". The champagnes are readily snapped up by those in the know, with Robert Parker calling them "excellent" and Galloni writing "this is a champagne that consistently over delivers relative to its peers".

The NV Cuvée No. 741 Extra-Brut is based on the 2013 harvest, and my sample is the very first disgorgement from August 2017. The wine has a white-golden color that is brighter than the Cuvée No. 740, which is based one 2012. Still quite reductive on the nose, this is a very pure, fresh and elegant Cuvée that reflects the vitality of the 2013 vintage. "The Pinot Noir was spectacularly tasty in 2013 and showed good fruit and structure," says Hervé Chiquet. The Cuvée 741 is really straight, fresh and stimulating and has lots of sweet cherry and red berry flavors. Lean, linear and straightforward. Tasted April 2018. Wine Advocate 92
