Every bottle of Cuvée 744 undergoes vinification in large oak barrels with no filtration, a method that adds a distinctive textural presence and subtle oxidative complexity.\u003cbr\u003eComparing 744 to 743 and 745\u003cbr\u003eCritics have noted that the 744 offers a more \"vivid\" and \"sapid\" profile than the 743. While the upcoming 745 (2017 base) is described as savoury and mineral, the 744 strikes a rare balance between linear acidity and a rounded, creamy mid-palate, making it approachable now but capable of aging through 2035.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritical Acclaim \u0026amp; Tasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Jacquesson Cuvée No. 744 has received exceptional scores from the world's leading wine critics:\u003cbr\u003e• William Kelley (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate) – 94\/100: \"Exhibiting complex aromas of orange oil, crisp stone fruit, fenugreek and subtle hints of yellow Chartreuse... medium to full-bodied, pillowy and seamless.\"\u003cbr\u003e• La Revue du Vin de France – 94\/100: Ranked at the \"summit\" of their blind tasting, praising its \"magnificent intensity of flavours\" and \"vinous and energetic palate.\"\u003cbr\u003e• John Gilman (View From the Cellar) – 93\/100: Noted its \"sophisticated blend of apple, fresh-baked bread, and upper register smokiness.\"\u003cbr\u003e• James Suckling – 93\/100: Described it as \"tangy and intense... with apricots and biscuits and orange-like acidity.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisgorgement Date: January \/ February 2021\u003cbr\u003eLees Aging: 36+ Months\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol Content: 12.50% Vol\u003cbr\u003eServing Temp: 6 - 8 °C\u003cbr\u003ePairing Ideas: Steak frites, roasted white meats, or premium shellfish like lobster\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQ. Is Jacquesson 744 a vintage Champagne?\u003cbr\u003eA. Strictly speaking, it is a \"multi-vintage\" blend, but it is heavily dominated by the 2016 harvest (70%) to showcase that specific year's character.\u003cbr\u003eQ. How long can I cellar Cuvée 744?\u003cbr\u003eA. While it is \"very drinkable now,\" the 744 has the structure to evolve gracefully in a cellar until 2035 and beyond.\u003cbr\u003eQ. What makes Jacquesson different from other Champagne houses?\u003cbr\u003eA. Jacquesson was the first to replace the \"consistent\" non-vintage blend with a numbered series that prioritizes the quality of the base harvest, treating every release as a unique event. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacquesson","offers":[{"title":"75cl \/ Tax Included","offer_id":53428448133463,"sku":null,"price":59.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6x75cl Case \/ Tax Included","offer_id":53428448166231,"sku":null,"price":359.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/5334\/6391\/files\/Jacquesson-Cuvee-744-Extra-Brut-Champagne.jpg?v=1777382444","url":"https:\/\/divinefinewines.co.uk\/products\/jacquesson-cuvee-744-extra-brut-champagne","provider":"Divine Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
