JacquessonWinemakers: Jean-Herve` & Laurent Chiquet Region: Champagne, France |
| CHAMPAGNE DOMAINE OF THE YEAR – Le Guide des Meilleurs Sommeliers du Monde, 2002 Jacquesson was founded 1798 in Chalons by Memmie Jacquesson, son of a wine trader. The house rapidly rose to fame, aided by the fortunate fact that Napoleon was a particular fan. However, everything we today value about Jacquesson champagne began with Jean Chiquet in 1974. Jacquesson is a trading house, but it manages to cover almost 90% of its grape requirement from its own vineyards. These vineyards are located in the Grands Crus Ay, Avize and Oiry, and the Premiers Crus Hautvillers, Dizy and Mareuil-sur-Ay. Additional grapes are only bought from wine growers who follow exactly the same methods as Jean-Herve` amd Laurent Chiquet. It is grapes that they buy, not wine. These grapes are pressed by Jacquesson itself in its four presses, three of which are located in Dizy and one in Avize. The two brothers see themselves primarily as grape growers who cultivate the land and do everything with the aim to obtain the best possible grapes from their vineyards… NV 732 NV 732 Magnum 2000 Avize Grand Cru 2000 Avize Grand Cru Magnum 1997 Vintage 1997 Vintage Magnum 1988 Degorgement Tardif 1990 Degorgement Tardif 1989 Degorgement Tardif Avize Grand Cru 1990 Degorgement Tardif Avize Grand Cru 1988 Degorgement Tardif Grand Vin Signature 1990 Degorgement Tardif Grand Vin Signature |
