Champagne Jacquesson: plot excellence and unique champagnes

Founded at the end of the 18th century and revitalized since 1974 by the Chiquet family, Champagne Jacquesson is an independent house that has placed the diversity of its terroirs and cellar work at the heart of its project. Based in Dizy, it blends its cuvées each year from grapes sourced mainly from its own 28 hectares, carefully supplemented by 20% purchased grapes, in order to offer champagnes that are at once precise, deep and lively. Jacquesson claims a deliberate plot-by-plot approach: chalky soils of Avize and Oiry, hillsides of the Grande Vallée de la Marne in Aÿ, Dizy and Hautvillers. This heterogeneity is a strength, because it is by playing with orientations, subsoils and natural nuances that the house seeks to reinforce "the influence of the mineral on the fruit". The winemaking work led by Jean-Laurent Chiquet, in tandem with Jean-Hervé's commercial vision, makes each cuvée a thoughtful expression of what the cellar reserves at a given moment, rather than a permanent calibration. The Jacquesson range, and in particular the numbered series like cuvée n° 700 or the more recent 739, 742, 743, illustrates this philosophy: blends that do not seek to freeze a taste, but to deliver "the best of what we have in the cellar" with each bottling. Where many seek consistency, Jacquesson claims controlled evolution, an elegance built on freshness, mineral tension and a natural length on the palate. Choosing Champagne Jacquesson is to taste a house that speaks of terroir with authenticity, without artifice. Its fine bubbles, silky texture and ability to combine character and precision seduce as much during an intimate moment as to enhance a celebration. Each bottle is an invitation to explore the richness of the Champagne vineyard through a resolutely modern signature that respects tradition.
