Champagne Andre Jacquart Chetillon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut Millesime 2015

The 2015 André Jacquart Chétillon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru stands as a masterclass in the expression of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger terroir, showcasing a remarkable synergy between the natural power of the vintage and the producer’s signature use of oak fermentation to build structural complexity. Upon the first pour, the wine reveals a luminous golden hue with a persistent bead of fine bubbles that carries an intricate bouquet of preserved lemon, white blossoms, and bruised orchard fruits layered over sophisticated notes of toasted brioche and toasted almonds. On the palate, this Extra Brut champagne displays a commanding presence characterized by a taut acidity and a profound chalky minerality that cuts through the creamy texture provided by extended lees aging, leading to a crystalline finish that remains vibrant for minutes. This vintage release captures the concentrated essence of old Chardonnay vines, delivering a bone-dry yet expansive mouthfeel that evolves beautifully in the glass, making it an exceptional choice for collectors who appreciate a champagne with both immediate intensity and significant aging potential. It is a vinous and gastronomic wine that pairs exquisitely with seared scallops or rich poultry dishes, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship and uncompromising quality that André Jacquart is renowned for in the heart of the Côte des Blancs.
