of terroirs.

A return to the Hôtel de Brimont, where the diversity of more than sixty crus came together in two outstanding cuvées.

It was a pleasure to return to Jacquart and the elegant surroundings of the Hôtel de Brimont. Behind the house’s fresh, contemporary vision is an exceptionally broad vineyard base: a mosaic of some sixty crus from which its vibrant, precise style can be assembled.

Pinot strength and prestige refinement

The Blanc de Noirs 2018 came from the single cru of Aÿ: firm, long and structured, yet beautifully proportioned. Alpha 2014, by contrast, expressed the house’s prestige vision through a smooth texture, layered complexity and preserved freshness.

  • Blanc de Noirs 2018 · Aÿ · strength, structure and length
  • Alpha 2014 · fine texture and layered complexity
  • More than sixty crus behind a single house style
Jacquart draws strength from diversity: the mosaic ultimately resolves into one precise, coherent image.

Joëlle Weiss’s personal, detail-minded guidance completed the visit — human warmth remained present throughout, even behind the house’s broad scale.
