Wine Enthusiast
Mostly 1996, but a nonvintage nonetheless, reluctant aromas of pear and mandarin orange peek through and at first seem to promise a wine that is substantial, but slow to unfold. But the finish is weirdly sour and flat, with a metallic aftertaste.
Winery Notes
30 small families, mainly from the Cote des Blancs where Chardonnay dominates, founded Jacquart, the original grower champagne , in 1962. The early days were difficult but the small co-op had a big leader and before long growth and expansion took place.
Jacquart s ascendancy is a major success story in the history of modern Champagne. By the year 2000 the 30 small grower s had swelled to a hearty 700 and the company joined the powerful Alliance Group making Jacquart part of the largest land owning grower s co-op in the region, controlling 7% of the appellation s total.
Jacquart’s 350 hectare portion of that encompasses sixty separate crus, all rated above 90 (the average is 96). The house style leans toward Chardonnay and emphasizes an intentional low dosage. This results in friendly wines that are fresh and balanced with firm structures and fine flavors.
Champagne Jacquart has built its reputation on delivering value. This model has driven rapid international expansion making Jacquart one of the most visible contemporary Champagne brands.
