Description: The parents and grandparents of André Jacquart only produced Champagne grapes, four generations. In 1958 André Jacquart introduced a new spirit in the family, producing his own estate-bottled Champagne in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru. Since 2004, Champagne André Jacquart has been located in Vertus Premier Cru. Major work was undertaken and the fifth generation,
represented by Marie Doyard (the granddaughter of André Jacquart) stepped in to run the business and inspire it with her own philosophy. Brilliant pale gold, with a tight bead and persistent mousse. The chardonnay provides green pear, apple, and toasted bread on the nose, with distinct wet stone minerality. Lush creamy mousse upon entry with warm toasty elements. Explosive aged
Chardonnay elements, intense minerality and great depth of flavor.
