Andr Jacquart Champagne Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs (2006)

For four generations, the parents and grandparents of Andr Jacquart only produced Champagne grapes. In 1958 Andr Jacquart introduced a new spirit in the family, producing his own estate-bottled Champagne in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (Champagne Village classified Grand Cru). Since 2004, Champagne Andr Jacquart has been located in Vertus (Champagne Village classified Premier Cru). Major work was undertaken and the fifth generation, represented by Marie Doyard and her brother Benoit (the grandchildren of Andr Jacquart ) stepped in to run the business and inspire it with their own philosophy.
Interestingly, Marie and Benoits paternal grandfather, Maurice Doyard, was instrumental in the creation of the AOC Champagne and the delimitation of its vineyard areas.
