The Legacy of Champagne Jacquesson

Guided tasting format

This Wine & Spirit Seminar is structured as a guided tasting centered on Champagne Jacquesson. The program description frames Jacquesson as one of Champagne’s oldest and most respected houses, founded in 1798 by Claude and Memmie. The event is presented by Pebble Beach Food & Wine and is organized as part of the Pebble Beach Food & Wine 15th Anniversary Festival.

Champagne Jacquesson focus

The masterclass looks at Champagne Jacquesson through several defined subjects: its Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards across the Côte des Blancs and Grande Vallée de la Marne, the Cuvée n° 700 series, and the house’s current era under the Pinault family. Those topics make the seminar more specific than a general Champagne overview, with the named vineyard areas, cuvée series, and ownership era all part of the program focus.

The tasting pour list includes two named wines: the 2020 Champagne Jacquesson Cuvée n° 748 and the 2019 Champagne Jacquesson Cuvée n° 747. Both sit within the numbered Cuvée n° 700 series referenced in the seminar description, giving the tasting a direct connection to one of the program’s stated themes.
