The Extra Brut Champagne 749 is produced by the historic Maison Jacquesson, located in Dizy, a few kilometres from Epernay. It is a vintage Champagne that does not indicate the vintage but the number of the cuvée used, which comes from a single harvest, in this case 749. It is made from Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir grapes. The grapes are made into sparkling wine following the Champenoise method, with ageing on the lees for at least 36 months.

Tasting notes:

Straw yellow in colour with a fine and persistent perlage, it reveals an elegant and complex nose, with aromas of candied fruit, citrus, walnuts and hazelnuts. The sip is fresh, round, with a complex and mineral finish.

Pairings:

Excellent with sushi, it pairs perfectly with raw fish and shellfish.
