Cuvee No. 741 is based on the 2013 vintage. An excellent frothy white mousse dissipates to reveal a gold tinged straw coloured base that’s threaded by an exceptionally fine and persistent bead. Heady aromas of citrus, toast and yeasty lees blend with dried honey, almonds and baked pear. Fresh and vibrant yet with an underlying oiliness to the mouthfeel the palate features a rich flavour profile of citrus fruits, toasty yeast lees, dried honey, almonds and traces of minerality. Dry mouth watering finish with a long citrus, almond and toasty lees laced finish.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 12.1%
Other Reviews….
The Cuvée No. 741, based on the 2013 vintage, is quite pretty. Complex, nuanced and multi-dimensional in feel, the 741 is beautifully layered in the glass. In this release, the Pinot Noir is especially expressive and gives the wine a measure of textural breadth that is unusual for a young 700-series Champagne. Soft contours and a host of toasty, resonant flavors give the 741 its distinctive feel. Best of all, the 741 will drink well upon release. Disgorged June 2017. Dosage is 2.5 grams per liter. Drink 2018-2028.
