Medium-bodied with medium-sized bubbles, a creamy texture and zesty acidity. Sharp and chewy palate with super-polished extraction and strawberry flavors. Smooth and engaging length. Very classic and tense. Drink or hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94+ Dunnuck \u003c\/strong\u003e- The NV Champagne Cuvee 749 Extra Brut is based on the 2021 vintage and is composed of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, with a little Meunier. The oldest reserve wine is from the 743 cuvée. In the glass, it displays a paler straw color compared to the 748, and this release has more verticality, with refreshing citrus notes shining through. It has a lot of personality, but it’s fresh, compact, and salty, with strawberries and a light hint of spice in the mousse. The acidity lends a chalky texture to its notes of orange and lemon zest, and for me, the Chardonnay takes the lead in this release, showcasing a focused structure and refreshing acidity. I think this has a lot of potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 Vinous \u003c\/strong\u003e- The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 749 (base 2021) is laced with hints of tropical fruit, dried flowers, chamomile, passion fruit and lightly honeyed overtones.  Open-knit aromatics are immediately expansive, giving the wine palpable textural breadth.  The No. 749 is soft, open-knit and very easy to drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJacquesson Champagne Extra Brut Cuvée 749\u003c\/strong\u003e is the latest chapter in one of Champagne’s most distinctive ongoing series. Rather than trying to make an identical non-vintage wine year after year, Jacquesson embraces the character of each harvest, assigning each release its own number. \u003cstrong\u003eCuvée 749 is centered on the 2021 vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e, supplemented by reserve wines to add depth and complexity.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe style is unmistakably Jacquesson: \u003cstrong\u003evinous, dry, energetic and intensely terroir-driven rather than simply fruity or crowd-pleasing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay brings citrus, white flowers and chalky tension; Pinot Noir contributes structure and breadth; Meunier adds flesh and an appealing orchard-fruit character. Look for \u003cstrong\u003elemon zest, crisp pear, green apple and white peach\u003c\/strong\u003e, gradually opening into toasted almond, fresh bread, subtle spice and a distinctly savory, saline mineral note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat really distinguishes 749 is its \u003cstrong\u003etension and precision\u003c\/strong\u003e. The dosage is deliberately low, allowing the wine’s acidity and mineral backbone to remain front and center. Yet it isn't austere—the extended élevage and reserve components provide enough texture and richness to balance all that freshness. The mousse is fine and persistent, and the finish is \u003cstrong\u003elong, chalky, mouthwatering and slightly smoky\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacquesson has become something of a bridge between the great historic Champagne houses and the modern grower movement: the polish and experience of an established maison, but with the \u003cstrong\u003eparcel-conscious, low-dosage, terroir-first mentality.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARTEMIS DOMAINES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51606313664818,"sku":"510000000007650","price":97.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/JacquessonChampagneExtraBrutCuvee749.png?v=1787074985","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/jacquesson-champagne-extra-brut-cuvee-749","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
