From jacquesson web-site:
NV Jacquesson Cuvée No.743 is a picture of 2015, and our harvest from Ay, Dizy and Hautvillers (60%) Avize and Oiry (40%). Winter was mild and wet, as was a large part of spring. There followed a period of dry weather with spells of high temperatures which lasted until mid-August.
The growing season ended with alternating periods of cool humidity and dry heat. Picking started on 10th September and ended on the last day of the month. The harvest was very homogenous and produced perfectly ripe and healthy grapes, in reasonable quantities, and with a sufficient level of acidity. So, a splendid vintage. Some reserve wines complete the blend. Zero dosage.
Jean-Hervé & Laurent Chiquet
The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 743 (2015 base) is soft, open-knit and caressing. The natural radiance of 2015 comes through in the wine's ample, creamy feel. Apricot, spice, dried flowers, hazelnut and lightly honeyed notes are all beautifully laced together. The 743 is already a touch forward, in a good way, which makes it a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. The blend is 60% Pinot Noir (from Aÿ, Dizy and Hautvillers) and 40% Chardonnay (from Avize and Oiry). Disgorged: August 2019 and bottled with no dosage.
