Champagne Jacquesson was founded in 1798 by Memmie Jacquesson and he did so well that Napoleon gave him a medal.

The business left family hands toward the end of the 1800s, and eventually was bought by the Chiquet family in 1974. Today Jacquesson is jointly managed by Jean-Hervé and Laurent Chiquet. The Chiquet brothers have embarked on a mission to make Champagne as fine wine ever since.
