Jacquesson Extra Brut Champagne Cuvée 745 NV

94 points Sarah Mayo (The Wine Independent): "Based on the challenging 2017 vintage, the 745 is a 53% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, and 17% Pinot Meunier aged four years in fine lees and finished with a 0.75 grams per liter dosage as a Brut Nature. Aromas of red apples, quince paste, cranberries and goldenrod honey emerge and are a little restrained oxidative lending a pretty wilted character to the nose. Medium-bodied and delicate, the palate centers on sweet orchard fruit dotted with lemon and honey notes intermingling with a buoyant, textural acid freshness that stimulates through a long, delicate finish. Disgorged August 2022. Drink: 2023-2033. (11/8/23)"

93 points James Suckling: "A little more bright and vibrant than the 744, with notes of poached pear, baked apple, grapefruit, lemon rind and pistachio. Fine bubbles with crisp acidity and a pure, fruity core. Very drinkable. 0.75g/L dosage. Disgorged January 2022. Drink now. (7/18/22)"

93 points La Revue du Vin de France: "The Cuvée 745, based on the 2017 vintage, has the advantage of being open and friendly from the outset. The wine is delivered with half-powerful substance and a still lively mousse. It doesn't reach the depth of its elder 744, but the level is, on a 2017 base, to be welcomed. (2023)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "[$105 list] A firm, focused Champagne, with the lacy mousse carrying a lovely range of ripe yellow pear and cherry fruit, toast point, preserved lemon, ground ginger and anise flavors. A minerally underpinning of chalk and brine notes emerge to drive the racy finish. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. Disgorged December 2021. Drink now. (12/15/22)"
