WINE DESCRIPTION
For four generations, André Jacquart's family solely cultivated Champagne grapes. In 1958, André Jacquart introduced estate-bottled Champagne production in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, a Grand Cru Champagne Village. Since 2004, Champagne André Jacquart has been based in Vertus, a Premier Cru Champagne Village. Fifth-generation member Marie Doyard now manages the business, inspired by her grandfather André Jacquart's legacy. Notably, her paternal grandfather, Maurice Doyard, played a pivotal role in establishing the AOC Champagne and delineating its vineyard areas. The winery employs 70% old Burgundy oak barrels, including Aquaflex barrels for gentle still wine fermentation of grand cru Chardonnay, imparting subtle vanilla and spice notes while preserving the wine's initial fruit characteristics. The wines are zero dosage, undergo no malolactic fermentation, and enjoy a minimum of five years on the lees before disgorgement.
