Maison de Champagne Jacquesson is located in the Marne valley at Dizy near Épernay since the end of the 18th century, in 1974 Jean Chiquet decided to take over the champagne house with his two sons. The two sons, Jean-Hervé and Jean-Laurent, aimed to concentrate on the existing 30 hectares of vines, divided between Avize, Ay, Dizy and Hautvillers, and to manage their vineyards organically in order to respect the soil.
Nowadays, there are three emblematic grape varieties of Champagne growing at Jacquesson: pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay. The significance of parcel diversity is underscored, along with the practice of vinifying the wines in aged oak tuns. This approach helps steer clear of the impact of new wood on the wine aromas.
The range of Jacquesson champagnes includes several vintage vintages named after localities such as Avize Champ Caïn, Dizy Corne Bautray and Dizy Terres Rouge. In addition, there is the unique concept of a non-vintage brut, identified by a ‘700’ number that varies with each new batch of Champagne. These are made from a majority of chardonnay, a quarter of pinot noir and a quarter of meunier. In every ‘700’ cuvée, Jacquesson seeks the aromatic character specific to the vintage, prioritizing individuality over uniformity across consecutive years.
