Jacquesson's Cuvée 735 Dégorgement Tardif is a reinterpreted vision of Cuvée 735. The philosophy behind Cuvée 7XX is to create a non-vintage Champagne that strongly reflects the character of the majority year of the blend.
Thus, Cuvée 735 is based on the 2007 harvest. It was a year marked by a mild, rainy winter, followed by a cold, cloudy summer. Fortunately, fine weather set in from August 25. The Chardonnays were fine, complex and mineral, the Pinots more heterogeneous.
The blend is based on 47% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier. Reserve wines account for just over a quarter of this blend (27%).
All cuvées 700 are made from grapes from 3 Grands Crus and 2 Premiers Crus, and only the first press juices, vinified in foudres, are used.
Cuvée 735 Dégorgement Tardif Jacquesson was aged for 7 years on lees, before being disgorged in October 2015. 14,704 bottles were produced, and 758 magnums.
