Jacquesson Cuvee 741 NV Degorgement Tardif (1.5L)

"Based on the 2013 vintage, disgorged in April 2022 without dosage and matured 94 months on the lees under cork, the NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 741 Dégorgement Tardif reveals a complex, spicy bouquet with aromas of lemon oil, dried flowers, honey, pastry, ripe orchard fruit and smoke. It’s medium to full-bodied, enveloping and fleshy, with a delicate, crystalline texture and a tension-filled, ethereal quality along with high acidity, a sign of a cool-weather vintage. Although already thoroughly enjoyable, it should age well over the next five to eight years." – Wine Advocate

"This is linear, very open and pretty with strawberry, pie-crust and brioche character that is racy and long. Medium-bodied and both bright and reserved at the same time. It is more like a fine pinot with delicate bubbles. Slightly more pinot in the blend than usual. Base of 2013. Eight years in bottle on the lees." – James Suckling
