Jacquesson, a fine Champagne Maison, is based in Dizy, a few kilometres north of Epernay. We are in the heart of the most fascinating wine region in the world. Founded by Memmie Jacquesson back in 1798, the Maison was immediately a great success, so much so that in 1810 Emperor Napoleon awarded it the gold medal "pour la beauté et la richesse de ses caves", for the beauty and richness of its cellars. When his son Adolphe joined the company, Maison Jacquesson made an important leap in quality. On the one hand, in fact, the way of managing the vineyard was revolutionised, introducing a technique which, a few years later, was adopted globally. But the most important thing was the development of what is now almost a symbol of Champagne and wine with bubbles. It was Jacquesson, in fact, who developed and patented the 'cage' to hold the cork in Champagne bottles. After a series of ups and downs, in 1925 Maison Jacquesson was entrusted to the care of Leon de Tassigny, who saved it from probable bankruptcy. Today, the brothers Laurent and Jean-Hervé Chiquet are at the helm of the Maison. Their philosophy is to produce "the best possible wine" every year, one that best represents the vintage. This is why they do not use reserve wines in any of their Cuvées.
