Event Description

Founded in 1964 by a group of passionate winegrowers, Champagne Jacquart was created to showcase the diversity and quality of the Champagne region. Working with vineyards across more than 60 crus, the House produces elegant, balanced Champagnes with Chardonnay at the heart of its style, bringing freshness, finesse and purity to every blend. As one of Champagne's younger Houses, Jacquart combines traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary outlook, creating wines that are approachable, refined and perfect for sharing. Every bottle reflects the House's commitment to quality, authenticity and celebrating life's moments with modern elegance.

My name is Jim Thompson, and I am proud to represent Champagne Jacquart as UK Manager. Having spent over 14 years in the wine industry, my passion has always been connecting people with exceptional wines and the stories behind them. Since joining Champagne Jacquart in 2021, I have worked closely with our UK importer, Enotria, to grow the House's presence, sharing the elegance, craftsmanship and joie de vivre that make every bottle of Jacquart a celebration of life's special moments.

My name is Cécile Bergart, and as a Champagne Expert (born amongst the vineyards of the Champagne Region, France), I will be presenting you with the very best bubbles the Champagne region has to offer and will run this tasting in the most entertaining and educational way. I am a published Champagne and Wine Educator, a guest champagne expert for Champagne World Magazine and for Channel 4 'SuperScrimpers', a regular guest speaker on BBC Radio Solent, as well as being an approved staff educator for Marks and Spencer. I am also a Ruinart Champagne Ambassador in the UK, a judge at the International 'Glass of Bubbly' Competition and I passed the world-acclaimed Champagne Master-Level Certificate back in 2018.

The 6 Jacquart Champagne wines we shall be tasting on the night:

  1. Brut Mosaique
  2. Brut Signature BO16
  3. Brut Signature Rosè
  4. Blanc de Blanc 2018
  5. Alpha 2014
  6. Demi Sec accompanied with some Biscuits Roses de Reims
