drink-nowChampagne Jacquesson, Cuvee 737, Dégorgement Tardif, Extra Brut

With a nose of candied lemon, marzipan and smoking hay, this wine is sunny and hugely appealing due to the maturity of the fruit  Emainly from the ripe 2009 vintage. The palate displays Jacquesson’s signature complexity, with bruised russets and fresh cherries, underwritten by an exotic saffron spice, and a rewarding autolysis; toasted like cinnamon buns. Taut minerality extends long into the finish which is expansive, firmly chalky and gently earthy. Perfect for the complexities of high gastronomy, or purely self-meditation. Drink now to 2025.
