The latest in the Chiques family's very successful initiative of numbered NV cuvées, this is based on 2010 with one-third reserve wine in the blend. The nose has plenty of bright chardonnay fruits, lime and lemon, green melon notes and a little spicy edge, plus plenty of stony, chalky notes too. The palate's nicely paced, delivering the same swathe of citrus on arrival, building to more savory, nutty characters as it goes. Lemon and lime sherbet flavors; acidity is crunchy and energetic. Drink now or over the next five years, longer if you like more of the toasty stuff.
Producer
Jacquesson
One of Champagne’s most respected houses, ranking amongst Bollinger and Krug, Jacquesson Champagne was established over 200 years ago in Dizy, France. The house has become a legendary producer under the management of the Chiquet brothers, Laurent and Jean-Hervé, who took over the estate from their father in the 1980s. The duo’s new-aged philosophies have taken a more terroir-based direction, crafting cuvées that are neither filtered, nor fined. Their zero dosage technique, creates an extreme juxtaposition between minimal sugar and extended lees aging, to produce some of the purest and most dignified Champagnes. The estate today produces four single-vineyard Champagnes, a Cuvée 700 and a Cuvée 700 D.T. The imitable style behind each of Jacquesson’s wines is effortless. Their wines are linked to the quality of the Chiquet brothers’ raw materials, typical terroirs, and most of all, tastes.
