Jacquart Mono Cru Cepage Chouilly

Jacquart has secured its reputation by sourcing exceptional fruit from the Côte des Blancs. This bottling celebrates Chouilly, a Grand Cru village renowned for producing Chardonnay with a particular crystalline structure. Unlike multi-vintage blends that seek a house style through broad sourcing, this cuvée focuses entirely on the unique chalky terroir of a single origin. It represents a precise snapshot of one of Champagne’s most coveted sites.

The winemaking emphasises transparency and patience. The juice undergoes fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its primary fruit characteristics, then rests on lees for 5 years. This extended maturation in the house’s Reims cellars develops complexity without the need for heavy oak influence. The dosage is kept low, ensuring the natural acidity and mineral backbone of the Chouilly grapes remain the focal point of the wine.

The nose opens with aromas of white flowers and lemon zest. On the palate, the wine delivers a sharp tension defined by green apple and fresh almond. A distinct salinity carries through to the finish, a hallmark of the local limestone soils. This is a sophisticated choice for those who value the purity of Grand Cru Chardonnay and the deliberate craft of a focused, single-village Champagne.
