"Absolute must for this vintage of superb depth".
"Superb definition combining the beautiful ripeness of the grapes and the freshness of the 2013 vintage, the nose is deep, precise, unadorned. The mineral identity of the vintage is exacerbated by this limestone aspect. The palate is long and delicate, with graceful bubbles". (Le Guide RVF 2024)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (guide 2025) 93/100
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 5*Stars (Exceptional producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)
About the domain :
Brought to the top by the Chiquet brothers, Laurent and Jean-Hervé, the house is the champagne standard-bearer for discerning oenophiles. Recently, François Pinault acquired a stake in the house. We recommend these deep, racy champagnes. Each new cuvée 700 (now 743) is a major creation, and every attention is paid to it. It then waits on corks before reappearing in a DT version (late disgorgement). The ultimate reverberation parcels come from Dizy (Corne-Bautray, chardonnay), Aÿ (Vauzelle-Terme, pinot noir) and Avize (Champ-Caïn, chardonnay), and are only created when the identity situation is optimal. The 2009s are exemplary in their lively warmth and endless depth. Grandiose.

Wine rated (guide 2025) 94/100
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment)
About the wine:
In this respect, late disgorgement n°742 boasts fine buttery, nutty and dried fruit aromas. On the palate, it's long and linear, without being overpowering; a fine, full-bodied juice today.
About the domain :
A new page of history is written with the departure of brothers Laurent and Jean-Hervé Chiquet, who lifted this fine house into the upper echelons of Champagne. The Artémis group has now taken over the reins under the direction of Jean Garandeau, but the teams remain unchanged: Yann Le Gall, cellar master, and Mathilde Perrier, vineyard manager, are still there to perpetuate the soul of the house. The 700 cuvées account for the bulk of production. We've come a long way since 728, produced from the 2000 vintage! The estate releases a late disgorgement every year, the first of which was 733, based on 2005. Only a few parcel productions are produced, depending on the quality of the vintage.

About the wine:
NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 742 Dégorgement Tardif (base 2014) is another terrific wine from Jacquesson. Reaching its first plateau of ripeness, this is a wine of exotic beauty. Kirsch, ginger, spices, menthol, licorice and dried herbs develop nicely. There's wonderful depth and resonance here. Despite this, I feel the 742 is a wine to drink rather than cellar, and a good choice for readers who appreciate mature champagnes. The dosage is 0.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: April 2023.
James Suckling
Wine rated (guide 2024) 97/100
About the wine:
This wine is truly fantastic, and the extra time spent in bottle gives it wonderful richness and layers on the palate. It's full and creamy, with sweetness and tension at the same time. The pie crust and hints of yeast autolysis give it intensity and vivacity. Eight years in bottle on yeast instead of three. 1.5 g/l. For drinking or cellaring.
