NV Jacquesson Cuvée No. 736
Jacquesson
The 2008 season was preceded by a winter that alternated between periods of extreme cold and mild weather. Then spring was cool and rainy, with some frosts, before a cool, dry and windy summer. September was superb, allowing the Chiquet brothers of Jacquesson to bring in a harvest of healthy, ripe grapes in perfect condition. 53% Chardonnay, 29% Pinot Noir & 18% Pinot Meunier. A third of the blend is made up of reserve wines.

Based on vintage 2008 with 2007 and 2006 (totaling a third) in supporting roles, and 53% Chardonnay; 29% Pinot; 18% Meunier, the Jacquesson NV Extra Brut Cuvee 736 delivers a captivating performance in which prominent acidity, bone-dryness and underlying firmness that in lesser hands or from lesser material would come off as spare and austere, here instead blossom into an irresistibly mouthwatering wealth of scents of flavors. Lemon, grapefruit and white peach tinged with their pits and with pungent yeastiness are further allied with hickory nut bittersweetness, freshly milled cornmeal, mint, chalk, and brine both on the pungent nose and vibrant, gripping palate. Expansive yet productively tense and consummately refreshing, this finishes with cheek-pinching, salivary gland-milking intensity. It should prove rewarding to follow over at least the next 3-5 years, as well as from any subsequent disgorgements.
