Interesting aromas and flavors abound with biscuit, toast, lemon and ginger. The texture is full and mature, but the wine still has very good acidity to support its apple, lime and spice flavors. It has an appealing mix of heavy and light elements, and it finishes long, with apple and mint notes.

Champagne Jacquart: A Legacy of Quality

Founded in 1964 by a group of 18 grapegrowers in Reims, Champagne Jacquart has grown to encompass a network of approximately 1500 growers, cultivating vineyards across a wide range of crus within the Champagne region.

Jacquart’s wines are crafted from the traditional blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, emphasizing a fresh and fruit-forward style with minimal oak influence. The house offers a diverse portfolio, including the Mosaique collection (brut, extra-brut, and rosé), vintage Champagnes, and the prestigious Alpha cuvée.

The Mosaique collection, named for the diverse range of vineyards from which the grapes are sourced, undergoes extended aging on the lees – three years for the brut and rosé, and five years for the extra-brut.

The Alpha cuvée, a blend of equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from four esteemed Montagne de Reims crus, enjoys a minimum of six years of cellar aging.

Jacquart sources grapes from both Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. All grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wines undergo a second fermentation in the bottle and are aged on the lees for a minimum of three years before disgorgement and release.
