They are located in the small village of Urville in the Côte des Bar where Pinot Noir, the predominant grape variety, finds its purest expression and allows the production of very elegant, aromatic wines. With an annual production of some 1.5 million bottles, they are considerably larger than a small grower, but not quite of the size of the Grande Marques in and around Reims and Epernay. Drappier is one of the foremost producers in the region which is highly respected amongst its peers like Cédric Bouchard, Marie-Courtin, Vouette et Sorbée, and Jacques Lassaigne. They own 55 hectares of vineyards and use another 50 hectares under contract with other growers. A an interesting historical fact is that Charles de Gaulle (the Former Minister of the Armed Forces in France) was very fond of their Champagne and they named a cuvée after him.

To the brothers Chiquet, they couldn’t quite accept a dumbing down of the wine to suit a style so instead, they decided to work with the best of that given year and change from making their ‘NV’ given the code ‘Cuvée No. 740 (base year: 2012)’ instead. The result is a wine that changes every year and reflects the best of their combined efforts and the offerings of Mother Nature. Cuvée No. 740 accounts for 90% of their production, which sits at 280,000 bottles. Although not organic, they are very hands-on in the vineyard and more non-interventionist in the winery which means, lower sulphur, low sugar addition (extra brut) across the range and no filtration which upholds both body and aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis smart cuvee would team superbly with a veal cutlet and a polenta mash. \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-10-04T12:23:11+11:00","created_at":"2020-10-04T12:16:02+11:00","vendor":"Jacquesson","type":"Extra Brut","tags":["$100-200","Extra Brut","New Arrival","Region: Dizy","Taste: Creamy","Taste: Fresh","Taste: Green Apple","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Orange Peel","Taste: Organic","Taste: Patisserie","Taste: Pear","Taste: Pinot Noir Dominant","Taste: Red Apple","Taste: Textural","Taste: Texture","Taste: Wet Stone","Year: NV"],"price":11795,"price_min":11795,"price_max":11795,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":33074513641581,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"JACQUESSON_742","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Jacquesson Cuvée no. 742 - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":11795,"weight":1500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":2,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Jacquesson-Cuvee-742-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1603943747"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Jacquesson-Cuvee-742-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1603943747","options":["Please Select"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":8025426362477,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"width":540,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Jacquesson-Cuvee-742-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1603943736"},"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Jacquesson-Cuvee-742-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1603943736","width":540}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e- Iconic house whose original founder Adolphe Jacquesson created the first Muselet or cage over the cork, to stop them escaping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Run by the Chiquet family today and they carve out some of the finest examples of champagne\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- \u003cspan\u003eThe Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 742, based on the 2014 vintage, is a gorgeous wine. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this release, the Cuvée seems especially marked by Pinot in both its flavor profile and texture.

Run by the Chiquet family since purchasing the property in 1978, brothers Jean-Herve and Laurent are at the helm and creating a different form of magic in their region of Dizy. Have you ever considered yourself a bit of a 'rebel' or a non-conformist at heart? Are you a perfectionist with ridiculous attention to detail? If so, you will comfortably align with the philosophy and beliefs of the Chiquet brothers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost, in fact all champagne houses create a non-vintage blend which aims at having a consistent ‘house-style’ year in year out, blending across multiple vintages and reserves to make the wine homogenous even if the year brings in extraordinary fruit. To the brothers Chiquet, they couldn’t quite accept a dumbing down of the wine to suit a style so instead, they decided to work with the best of that given year and change from making their ‘NV’ given the code ‘Cuvée No. 740 (base year: 2012)’ instead. The result is a wine that changes every year and reflects the best of their combined efforts and the offerings of Mother Nature. Cuvée No. 740 accounts for 90% of their production, which sits at 280,000 bottles. Although not organic, they are very hands-on in the vineyard and more non-interventionist in the winery which means, lower sulphur, low sugar addition (extra brut) across the range and no filtration which upholds both body and aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis smart cuvee would team superbly with a veal cutlet and a polenta mash. \u003c\/p\u003e"}
