Background

Andre Jacquart is a grower champagne in the truest sense. For four generations, the parents and grandparents of André Jacquart only produced Champagne grapes. In 1958 André Jacquart introduced a new spirit in the family, producing his own estate-bottled Champagne in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru. Since 2004, Champagne André Jacquart has been located in Vertus Premier Cru with their Champagnes exclusively coming from the terroir of Vertus and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Major work was undertaken and the fifth generation, represented by Marie Doyard (the granddaughter of André Jacquart) stepped in to run the business and inspire it with her own philosophy of vinification in oak barrels, long ageing periods, and low or no dosage. Interestingly, Marie’s paternal grandfather, Maurice Doyard, was instrumental in the creation of the AOC Champagne and the delimitation of its vineyard areas. Champagne André Jacquart prides itself on its forward-looking ethos and pioneering spirit, focusing primarily on respect for the terroir and high quality. In line with its strategy, the estate was certified HVE 3 for its sustainable winegrowing practices in 2019.

TERROIR & VINTAGE NOTES

Champagne Solera is a Blanc de Blancs obtained from Chardonnay grapes coming from Premier Cru vineyards in Vertus, within Côte des Blancs.

Winemaking & Aging

Oak barrel vinification from Réserve perpètuelle (solera) from 2008 to 2015, with maturation in 100% steel tanks. No malolactic fermentation. Light filtration.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant pale gold, persistent and fine bead. Prominent aromas of white flowers on the nose. The structured palate has nice tension, with a creamy mousse and subtle salinity notes.

97
Points

Chalky minerality is allied here with dried lemon peel dust, white pepper, linden tree and restrained pastry notes. Fine ,pinprick mousse, with zesty acidity, lemon curd flavor and lemon-pulp depth. Super-tense and long. Larger and deeper complexity, typical of Vertus. Drinkable now, but best in 2-3 years. -J.S.

91
Points

An expressive Champagne, with a lively, zesty bead and hints of dried herbs and flowers accenting juicy blood orange and apricot fruit, bread dough and lemon curd. Reveals minerally base notes of chalk and oyster shell on the finish. A rich style in a sleek frame, try this with shellfish or grilled seafood. Disgorged April 2020. Drink now. –A.N.
