{"product_id":"cuvee-747-jacquesson-75cl","title":"Cuvée 747, Jacquesson 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eJacquesson number their non-vintage cuvées like editions of a book, and 747 is the base of 2019 topped up with reserves going back years. That single detail tells you almost everything: this is a house chasing the best possible wine each year rather than a house style frozen in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Chiquet brothers run Jacquesson out of Dizy, in the Vallée de la Marne, and they long ago stepped away from the big-volume game to make tiny, obsessive quantities. The blend here is roughly 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Meunier, drawn largely from their own Grand and Premier Cru holdings, with low dosage that leaves the fruit exposed and honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect a nose of baked apple, toasted hazelnut and a lick of fresh brioche, with something faintly saline underneath. The palate is where it earns its keep: broad and vinous, carried by a fine, insistent mousse, with citrus pith and orchard fruit stretched over a chalky, mouth-watering line of acidity. The finish is dry, long and gently smoky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a grower-minded Champagne for people who have grown tired of sweet, anonymous fizz. At around £70 it sits well below the grande marque prestige cuvées yet drinks with more character than most of them. Open it when you want the wine, not just the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChill to 8–10°C and pour into a white wine glass rather than a narrow flute, which lets the aromatics open. No decanting needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sportsman-inspired list at Noble Rot Soho leans into wines exactly like this. 10 Cases in Covent Garden pours grower fizz by the glass. Bubbleshop in Battersea is built for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoast chicken with its skin crisped and salty is the natural match. It also loves a plate of good Comté.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56963824714052,"sku":"HO35601BNV","price":66.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/102592120210101500_18309e80-5566-453f-b0e4-0f5741851e17.png?v=1785320617","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/cuvee-747-jacquesson-75cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
