“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-vintage 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’

“For some, there is no substitute for champagne, but why not try one of those lesser-known houses, such as this Pinot Noir-dominated blend full of flavours of wild berries and cherries. It is a great summer aperitif.”
Terry Kirby, The Independent on Sunday, 16th June 2013
“Toast your mum with some bubbly. Try this stand-out champagne – fresh and vibrant, yet elegant and round. With hints of wild strawberry and cherry, this conjures up summer in a glass and comes in a suitably smart gift box”.

JACQUART GREEN MATTERS
For the past 15 years, we have been members of to the group of wine development. The vines are grown organically and we follow minimal intervention in the vineyard to encourage biodiversity. 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.
