Jacquart 1992 Cuvée Mosaïque Sparkling (Champagne)
-
$38
Jacquart makes a full-bodied, ripe style of Champagne, with tiny, effusive bubbles. Flavors of slightly overripe apples lead into a mature palate with hints of oxidation. Sherry, nuts, olive oil, vanilla and other less identifiable nuances meld into a rich, ripe, satisfying and complex whole.

$30
Rich and toasty, with tiny bubbles. The bouquet is laced with honey and vanilla scents. The palate suggests nuts and toast, without any noteworthy sweetness despite the demi-sec label.

Jacquart NV Katarina Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
A delicious, mature Champagne, probably Jacquart’s best release. The initial youthful softness has been transformed into a rich, toasty, aromatic wine, with a ripe, but crisp finish. It is now in perfect condition.

Jacquart 1992 Blanc de Blancs Brut Mosaïque Sparkling (Champagne)
-
$38
Shows some older notes: a bouquet of toasted white bread, cinnamon, brown sugar and smoky yeast, with just the slightest hint of white pepper. Really rich and complex, with supple lime flavors offsetting the earthy impression. Very dry, with an overall excellent palate impression. Should continue to age and grow finer.

Jacquart 1999 Cuvée Allegra Sparkling (Champagne)
-
$65
This is the first vintage of a cuvée named, so the advertising has it, after a figure who is both romantic and modern. It is certainly a fine blend that shows ripe fruit, some layers of toast to go with some honey and fresh white fruits. It should age, but, as an apéritif wine, it’s ready to drink now.
