Jacquesson
Jacquesson are one of the most exciting houses in Champagne right now. 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.
Most - 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 giving their ‘NV’ 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 with 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.

Jacquesson Champagne for the Adventurous
There is something wonderful about familiarity and knowing that a house name stands for a certain level of quality, and a particular style and taste. However, while the majority of producers create a signature for their house, those that admire and appreciate the particularities of one house may be pleased to find that Jacquesson Champagne deliver an ever-evolving style that responds to the year in which their products are produced. Those wishing for a new adventure each year and the joy of anticipating a riff on what they previously tasted will go wild for it.
Here at Emperor Champagne, we are known as Australia’s House of Champagne. Our goal is to curate and make it possible for those in Australia that love and appreciate the wonders of champagne to have access to an outstanding variety of the best bottles on the market. If you are tired of the cuvées that are served at every other party you attend, or simply want to blow the minds of the guests at your next party, then you really need to be part of our club.
Not only will you find a variety of choice in terms of the major producers, but surprises and a world of exciting boutique offerings are also here, exclusive to you and ready to ship in a luxurious package that perfectly envelops the delightful bottle of bubbly within.
Exclusivity, Education and Experiences
As we all are very aware, when it comes to status symbols, there are few icons in the market that truly rival champagne. It is a symbol of the powerful and those that have risen through the ranks to the top of the mountain. However, while anybody can pick up a standard bottle of champagne that everyone at your party will have seen countless times, those that really want to turn heads and start a conversation need access to bottles that are infrequently seen by those that have little knowledge of champagne.
Here at Emperor Champagne, we are dedicated to three key things - exclusivity, education and experiences. We understand that the first question most will ask when they see a bottle of champagne that they don’t recognise will be in terms of how much it cost. With Jacquesson champagne, price is one thing but understanding the story behind the wine, where it came from and what it achieves gives you the edge in terms of separating your appreciation of the finer things from those that buy blindly.
At Emperor Champagne, we have two different bottles ready to ship. The Jacquesson Cuvée no. 740, which retails at $94.99, and the Jacquesson Avize Champ Caïn Brut ’05, which retails at $339.99. Ordering either one as a member of our club will reduce the price but will also afford you access to exclusive educational video content so that you can fully appreciate these magnificent champagnes, learn a little more about the etiquette and service of champagne and share your extensive knowledge with your peers.
Ethics at the Core of Everything
At Emperor Champagne, we believe that it’s not just enough to supply luxury products and understand that you expect only the best when you crack open a bottle. And so, we approach our business with ethics at the core of everything we do. All of the bottles we sell have been sourced ethically and stored properly, and we promise will be sold fairly and will dazzle on delivery.
Jacquesson champagne is just the tip of the iceberg, so browse and shop with confidence today here at Emperor Champagne and separate yourself from the pack with a deep dive into the sophisticated world of champagne.
