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 – mainly 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.
