Champagne JACQUESSON, Artemis Domaines, Dizy, NM

Champagne for connaisseurs – one of the very best houses in Champagne

Founded in 1798, Jacquesson has a very long history. Its fame grew following that Jacquesson was once a favourite of Napoleon, who bestowed upon the house a gold medal for its fine cellars. Jacquesson also once employed Johann-Joseph Krug as cellar master, before he left in 1843 to form his own house.

But despite more than 200 years of history, Jacquesson has become a revolutionary among Champagne’s established houses, under the leadership of brothers Laurent and Jean-Hervé Chiquet, who took over from their father in the 1980’s. Since early 2023 Jacquesson was integrated in the for wine connaisseurs well know Artemis group. Jacquesson is since years considered to be one of the very best producers in Champagne.

The 700 series represents an interesting approach to non-vintage Champagnes, aiming to release the best cuvée each year anew and no longer adhering to a specific style. The logic behind this decision is apparently that the 700 series represents the best cuvée produced in a given year, and therefore, another cuvée with the same vintage cannot be released. Champagne has a terroir character, which, as a natural product, varies from vintage to vintage, origin, and growing conditions. It focuses on the distinct personality of a vintage, which is then stylistically complemented by noble reserve wines from older vintages.

The 700 series Dégorgement Tardif DT : Since Jacquesson has moved to the philosophy of only releasing the 700 series wine every year, they decided to hold some back each year for an extended aging period on the lees with natural cork (sous-liège) and to release this wine as "Dégorgement Tardif" 5 years later.

The lieu-dit (single-vineyard) line-up: Jacquesson also produces tiny quantities of its terroir-based cuvées, each from a unique parcel of vines. These Champagnes showcase some of the region’s finest terroirs and is a must buy for collectors and anyone interested in the terroir of Champagne, demonstrating an extraordinary vinosity and expression of place. The lieu-dit (single-vineyard) line-up includes: Avize Champ Caïn, 100% Chardonnay; Dizy Corne Bautray, 100% Chardonnay; Aÿ Vauzelle Terme, 100% Pinot Noir; and Dizy Terres Rouge, 100% Pinot Noir.

The total annual production is limited to 300’000 bottles.
