Discovery Series with Berkmann Wine Cellars: Jacquesson Uncorked
The champagne masterclass every sommelier should experience.
Designed for young sommeliers looking to build their knowledge of fine wine; a rare opportunity to taste philosophy in action.
Among sommeliers, Jacquesson has become a point of reference. Long before terroir, grower Champagne and transparency became industry buzzwords, Jacquesson was quietly challenging many of the conventions that defined Champagne. Its decision to replace a permanent non-vintage blend with the now-famous 700 Series helped shift the conversation towards seasonality, vineyard expression and the character of individual harvests.
Taste Champagne Jacquesson:
- Cuvée 748 (2020 base)
- Cuvée 747 (2019 base)
- Cuvée 743 (2015 base)
- Cuvée 743 D.T. (2015 base)
- Cuvée 742 D.T. (2014 base)
- Dizy Corne Bautray 2014
- Avize Champ Caïn 2014
Join Alex Hunt MW, Purchasing Director at Berkmann Wine Cellars, to taste a line-up of rare and fine champagnes wines that showcase why Jacquesson is one of the most respected names in contemporary Champagne.
From the precision and energy of Cuvée 748 to the depth and nuance of 743 D.T. (Dégorgement Tardif), the tasting explores how ageing, dosage, terroir and time shape some of the region’s most sought-after wines.
Attendees will also taste two of Jacquesson’s most celebrated single-vineyard bottlings: Dizy Corne Bautray and Avize Champ Caïn. Rarely encountered outside leading restaurants and specialist cellars, these wines offer an invaluable opportunity to explore Champagne through the lens of site, providing a clearer understanding of why vineyard-focused wines continue to captivate sommeliers and collectors alike.
Whether you’re working towards advanced wine qualifications, building a premium Champagne list or simply looking to broaden your understanding of one of the world’s most influential producers, this promises to be one of the most compelling sommelier tastings of the year.
Places are limited and expected to fill quickly.
For anyone serious about Champagne, this is a chance to taste one of the producers that helped redefine the category and understand why Jacquesson remains a benchmark for sommeliers across the UK.
