About the Wine

Meet Andre Jacquart, the epitome of grower Champagne. For four generations, the Jacquart family focused solely on cultivating the finest Champagne grapes. But in 1958, André Jacquart broke tradition, creating his own estate-bottled Champagne in the prestigious Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru.

Fast forward to 2004, and the torch passed to Marie Doyard, André’s granddaughter, who moved the operation to Vertus Premier Cru. With a passion for vinification in oak barrels, extended aging, and minimal dosage, Marie infused the brand with her unique vision. Fun fact: Marie's paternal grandfather, Maurice Doyard, played a key role in establishing the AOC Champagne and defining its vineyard areas.

Champagne André Jacquart isn't just about tradition; it's about innovation and respect for the terroir. In 2019, the estate earned the HVE 3 certification for sustainable winegrowing, a testament to their commitment to quality and the environment. Join us in celebrating a Champagne house that perfectly blends history with a forward-thinking spirit!

This 2 hectares parcel of Pinot Noir is located in Vertus - 1er Cru and the Chardonnay is from Le Mesnil sur Oger Grand Cru. Fermented in new oak barrels (25%) and old oak Burgundy barrels. Maceration of juice with the skins for 24-48 hours for the Pinot Noir before saignée (removing the juice from skin contact). Blended with 20% Le Mesnil sur Oger Chardonnay from old Burgundy barrels. Minimum three years lees contact before disgorgement.

Tasting Notes

 Toasted bread notes on the nose from the aged Chardonnay. A precise, crisp, bone-dry character with mineral notes, with a rich, exceptionally balanced palate and lengthy finish. This will pair with refined poultry dishes, veal rib and Asian cuisine.
