Jacquesson Cuvee 742 NV Degorgement Tardif (1.5L)

"This is really fantastic and the extra time in the bottle gives it such wonderful richness and layers on the palate. It's full and creamy-textured with softness and tension at the same time. The pie crust and hints of yeast autolysis gives this intensity and verve."-James Suckling

"Crafted from vines planted in Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers and Champillon (59%) and 41% in Avize and Oiry, the NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 742 Dégorgement Tardif, matured for 96 months on the lees under cork, reveals a subtle, complex bouquet of exotic fruits, honey, beeswax, ripe orchard fruits, chamomile and herbs. Medium to full-bodied, sappy and textured, it has a vinous, fleshy core of fruit, racy acids and a saline, delicate mid-palate, leading to a long, mineral and ethereal finish. Disgorged in April 2023 with 0.5 grams per liter dosage. This is a Champagne for gastronomy."- Wine Advocate
