The Jacquesson Cuvée No. 748 Magnum NV (1500ml) is a remarkable Extra Brut Champagne from one of the region's most respected grower-producers. Based on the 2020 harvest and enhanced with reserve wines from previous editions, this large-format release highlights Jacquesson's signature focus on terroir, precision and minimal intervention. Aromas of pear, citrus zest, white peach and brioche are layered with notes of chamomile, crushed flowers and chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is vibrant and finely structured, with bright acidity and an exceptionally fine mousse supporting flavours of lemon, orchard fruit and subtle pastry notes. Chardonnay plays a leading role in the blend, bringing freshness and mineral definition, while extended lees ageing adds depth and complexity. The finish is long, dry and saline, with impressive precision and persistence.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Champagne for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a terroir-driven style with both immediate appeal and excellent ageing potential. The magnum format allows the wine to evolve gracefully over time, making it ideal for cellaring over the next 8–12 years. Pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, lobster, roast poultry and aged hard cheeses.
