ABOUT OUR CHAMPAGNES |
THE HOUSE 1798 : Haydn finished The Creation, Napoleon won the Battle of the Pyramids while Nelson won the Battle of the Nile, and the House of Jacquesson was founded. The business flourished immediately because of the quality of the wines from this new House. In particular, their champagne became a favourite of Napoleon who took it on his numerous campaigns as well as serving it at his wedding to the Archduchess Marie-Louise of Austria. THE HOUSE STYLE Elegance with complexity is the hallmark of the House. The distinguishing feature of our range of wines is an elegant clarity of bouquet and taste which is enhanced by a subtle complexity obtained from the blend of grapes and the use of wood.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY ABOUT THE BRUT PERFECTION
" If you are looking for those rich, creamy Krug-like flavours at a fraction of the price, Jacquesson is the label to remember... The Jacquesson range is of stunning quality... "
Michael Edwards in Caterer & Hotelkeeper, May 1996
" All the wines have a remarkable purity of flavour and classicism in their structure. Jacquesson today ranks as one of the top seven Houses in Champagne. "
L’Année du Vin 1997
" This small, family-owned house is run by the Chiquet brothers, two of the most charming people you are likely too meet. They make utterly sublime Champagnes which are beautifully presented. Entire range recommended. "
Tom Stevenson, Sotheby’s Wine Encyclopedia (1997)
" Jacquesson produces handcrafted Champagnes that are especially suited to restaurants and connoisseurs who are searching for quality " niche " products. "
Harper’s, March 1995
" The Chiquets belong to a new generation in Champagne who are launching a determined challenge to established tastes. "
Der Feinschmecker, December 1996
" A small House wich knows how to produce the most beautiful wines, including their Cuvée Signature and the well-structured Blanc de Blancs. "
Gault-Millau Guide Le Vin 1996
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY ABOUT THE BRUT ROSÉ
" The Perfection Brut Rosé has a good punchy taste of Pinot Noir but is not heavy, thanks to lively acidity. "
Michael Edwards in Caterer & Hotelkeeper, May 1996
" A bright, lively rosé that hits all the right notes with its fruity aromas, solid fruit flavours, crisp acidity and smooth texture. 86/100. "
The Wine Spectator, December 1996
" Fine hints of raspberry, light-bodied and noticeably elegant on the palate. "
Alles Über Wein, June 1995
" A wonderfully spicy, different style. Combines bold flavour with elegant texture. Unique appealing. 91/100 ".
The Wine Spectator, December 1994
