André Jacquart Champagne 1er Cru Brut Experience Blanc de Blancs

André Jacquart Champagne 1er Cru Brut Experience Blanc de Blancs is an estate-bottled grower Champagne from Premier Cru vineyards in Vertus — brilliant pale gold with a tight bead and persistent mousse, showing Chardonnay green pear, apple, and toasted bread on the nose with distinct wet stone minerality.

For four generations, the Jacquart family produced Champagne grapes; in 1958 André Jacquart began producing his own estate-bottled Champagne in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (Grand Cru). Since 2004 the house has been located in Vertus (Premier Cru), now run by the fifth generation — Marie Doyard and her brother Benoit, the grandchildren of André Jacquart. Their paternal grandfather, Maurice Doyard, was instrumental in the creation of the AOC Champagne and the delimitation of its vineyard areas.
