Luxury Champagne and Chocolates Gift

Jacquart Brut Mosaique NV Champagne

Tasting Notes
Shimmering, satiny pale gold colour with deeper gold nuances and flashes of jade. Fine bubbles presage a champagne that is fresh and opulent. Floral (rich honeysuckle) and fruity (crushed pear, preserved lemon, peach) aromas mingle with soft creamy notes of biscuit and fresh crusty bread. Airing reveals a profusion of more intense and sumptuous notes of fig, grenadine, lily and sunflower, as well as spices such as star anise and liquorice. The sensation in the mouth is full and fruity, underlined by citrus aromas of lemon and orange. A sincere, diaphanous champagne of great generosity.

Food Matching Note
Red mullet with cream of marinated Dublin Bay prawns, served on a bed of salad leaves, exotic fruit and fresh coriander.

“They call this Mosaique because its made up of different wines from a whole mosaic of vineyards in the two best champagne zones - the Montagne de Reims and the Cotes des Blancs - and most of them are grand cru or premier cru, the top sites. But that''s not all. This is a non-vontage wine, and 20 per cent of the blend is of old reserve wines kept back to add richness. Add to that a period of three to four years when the wine lies on its yeast lees, soaking up the creamy softness they exude, and ... well you''ll be getting thirsty. But it really works. There are so many mellow flavours flickering in and out of the wine: white bread crust, or is it yeasty dough? Probably both. Baked cream, milk chocolate or creme fraiche? All three. Biscuits, fluffy apples, a friendly foaming cascade of bubbles... very good stuff.” Oz Clarke, ‘My Top Wines for 2013’

JACQUART GREEN MATTERS

We regurlarly attend meetings and training seminars, which allow us to share our methods and experience in winemaking and how it's evolved. We are constantly mindful of our impact on the environment and the quality of our product is our main priority.

SUSTAINABLE PHILOSOPHY

Based on a voluntary approach, sustainable viticulture aims meeting the qualitative, environmental requirements while preserving the perennially of the exploitations. Dedicated services made up of technicians and agricultural engineers were created on the initiative of each cooperative of the group in order to accompany our vine growers & partners throughout the cycle of the vine and to take part in the Magister network for the follow-up of maturity. Thus, our vine growers are sensitized, advised in order to improve their wine practices and to optimize the quality of grapes.
