The Jacquesson Cuvée No. 743 Dégorgement Tardif NV is a rare late-disgorged Champagne from one of the region's most respected grower-producers. Based on the outstanding 2015 harvest and aged for more than eight years on lees before disgorgement, this Extra Brut release showcases the added complexity, depth and precision that define Jacquesson's D.T. wines.
On the palate, it is remarkably focused and refined, with fine bubbles and vibrant acidity supporting layers of citrus, orchard fruit and subtle pastry notes. Extended lees ageing brings added texture and complexity, revealing hints of lemon confit, candied citrus, spice and mineral tension. The finish is long, dry and exceptionally persistent, with no dosage allowing the wine's terroir-driven character to shine through.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Champagne for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a mature, late-disgorged expression with exceptional detail and ageing potential. Enjoy now for its complexity and precision or cellar over the next 8–12 years. Pairs beautifully with oysters, lobster, scallops, roast poultry and refined seafood dishes.
