Tasting

To the eye

The colour is a luminous golden yellow with subtle golden highlights. The effervescence is exceptionally refined, forming a delicate, persistent and perfectly even stream of bubbles.

Nose

The nose is exceptionally elegant, revealing aromas of pear, apple, lemon, citrus zest and white flowers, quickly joined by notes of brioche, hazelnut, fresh almond, chalk and subtle pastry notes that reflect its long ageing on lees.

Palate

The palate is straightforward, taut and remarkably precise. The lively attack gives way to a full-bodied, creamy texture, underpinned by magnificent minerality and exceptional freshness. Flavours of citrus, white fruit, toast and dried fruit linger on a very long, briny finish of great purity, characteristic of Jacquesson’s great Extra-Brut champagnes.

Pairing

This 2008 Jacquesson Extra-Brut Champagne will elegantly complement a scallop carpaccio, roast lobster, Gillardeau oysters, turbot with beurre blanc sauce or Bresse poultry in a creamy sauce. It will also bring out the best in a mature Comté or a well-aged Parmesan. To fully appreciate its finesse and aromatic complexity, we recommend serving it at between 10 and 12 °C in a large wine glass rather than a flute.

Aging potential

Produced from an exceptional vintage, this Jacquesson Extra-Brut 2008 Champagne is currently at a magnificent stage in its development but still has an ageing potential of 10 to 20 years, during which time it will develop increasingly complex aromas of dried fruit, honey and pastries.

Your questions, our answers.

Is it better to open this Jacquesson 2008 today or keep it for longer?

Both options are defensible: the description highlights an already dazzling expression, as well as extraordinary aging potential. Opening it lets you appreciate its current tension and depth; keeping it is consistent with its potential, although no specific timeframe is given.

Could this champagne be too lively if I prefer mature wines?

The vintage’s exceptional acidity is accompanied here by remarkable grape ripeness. However, the stated profile remains taut and precise, which is worth considering if you prefer champagnes with less pronounced liveliness.

Is this a good choice if I’m looking for a champagne with little noticeable sweetness?

Yes, the very low dosage is specifically intended to preserve the wine’s purity. You should therefore choose it for its tension and precision rather than for a sense of sweetness.

Why focus on the 2008 vintage rather than simply on the bottle’s age?

Its appeal is not simply a matter of the years that have passed: 2008 brought together perfectly healthy grapes, exceptional acidity, and remarkable ripeness. This combination explains both the champagne’s taut profile and its aging potential.

Is this Jacquesson suitable for a tasting where the champagne takes center stage?

Yes, its tension, precision, and depth make it a fitting choice for a tasting focused on the wine. You could pay particular attention to how the grapes’ ripeness expresses itself alongside the characteristic acidity of 2008.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
