Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Radiant pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles that rise with composure - a sign of elegant maturation and refined method.
Nose:
A beautifully intricate bouquet. Expect crisp notes of green apple, lemon zest, white flowers, moving into richer aromas of brioche, toasted almond, and beeswax, enhanced by subtle hints of honey, dried white fruit and gentle herbaceous undertones.
Palate:
Texturally refined yet vibrant. The palate opens with citrus pith, orchard fruit and chalky minerality, supported by a dressed-in-elegance mousse and precise acidity. Layers of pastry crust, hazelnut and a whisper of ripe pear add depth without overwhelming brightness.
Finish:
Long, poised, and memorably fresh. The finish resonates with citrus rind, fine minerality and a subtle savory twist, leaving a refined tension that invites further sipping.
A superb choice for food-pairing, high-end celebration or cellar investment - brilliant with shellfish, delicate white meats or even light savoury dishes.
For those seeking a Champagne that combines terroir precision, extended maturation, and flawless craftsmanship, Jacquesson Cuvée 742 Dégorgement Tardif is a standout choice.
