Jacquesson’s Cuvée No. 742 Extra Brut NV is a true testament to the art of blending, combining wines from multiple years to create a champagne that is both complex and balanced. The 742 blend is primarily based on the 2014 harvest (59% of the blend) from top Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in Aÿ, Dizy, and Hautvillers, with additional reserve wines added to enhance depth and ensure consistency year after year. The grapes used are a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, with a dosage of just 1.5 g/l, offering a precise and pure champagne experience.

The result is a wine that offers depth, freshness, and a rich complexity—showcasing a beautifully delicate balance of fruit, spice, and minerality. The subtle aromas of orchard fruits, citrus, and almond are enhanced by a touch of brioche and a slight floral hint, which gives way to a finely textured palate with crisp acidity and a long, harmonious finish. The wine is aged on its lees for an extended period, which adds layers of complexity and richness. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for further aging, Cuvée No. 742 will continue to evolve beautifully.
