Wine Information

The blend of Cuvée n° 735 is 47% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier and the wines from the 2007 harvest were completed with reserve wines from 2006 (22%) and 2006 (6%). 332,600 bottles, 14,470 magnums and 416 jeroboams were produced.

In Champagne, one of the most northerly of vine growing regions, the concept of a consistent tasting non-vintage cuvée was developed in order to help a producer disguise any problems caused by a difficult growing season; however, the downside to this is that in great years the better qualities in the raw materials which are available to the winemaker have to be sacrificed in order to maintain a House blend.

At Jacquesson we are fortunate to have some exceptional terroirs, all Premiers and Grands Crus from La Grande Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs. Our viticulture relies on time-honoured principles, we use only the cuvée from each pressing and have absolutely no hesitation, in difficult vintages, in rejecting juice which doesn’t meet our standards. As a result, our multi-vintage wines retain the best of every harvest and we are proud to be able to say that they faithfully reflect the characteristics of the base vintage whilst benefiting from the addition of some vins de réserve.

Therefore, our wines have a personality which can be quite different depending on their base vintage, which means they each need to have their own identity. Thus, Cuvée N° 735, based on the 2007 vintage, succeeds Cuvée N° 734 which was based on that of 2006.

The weather in 2007 was full of contrasts : the winter was the mildest since 1960, on a par with 1990, while the spring was positively summer-like, the warmest (apart from 1997) in thirty years. Both seasons suffered record rainfall, and as a result the vines were very vigorous. Everything changed in the summer, the coldest for ten years with the lowest recorded sunshine for 30 years. These difficult conditions encouraged mildew and, above all, botrytis, which struck as early as July. And the grapes continued to grow... But it is in difficult conditions such as these that our rigorous viticulture really begins to bear fruit : our cover cropping competed with the vines for nourishment, curbing their vigour and slowing the growth of the berries. Happily, on 25th August, some good weather arrived to stay, allowing the grapes to finish maturing under favourable conditions and, above all, free from attack by botrytis.

The wines were vinified as usual, in large oak casks on their lees, with weekly batonnage and with absolutely no filtration. The sharp contrasts in the weather throughout the year were reflected when tasting the vins clairs. The chardonnays were fine, complex and mineral; the pinot noirs were a bit more varied, the best showing the power and maturity that one looks for; the pinot meuniers were less consistent, with quite good fruit but less power than expected.
