Cuvée No. 740 Extra Brut Champagne Blend

More than 50% 2012 and the rest 2010/2011

Refreshing, full of tension, drive and grace. Beautiful bottle

A fabulous bottle. Love this wine, have always loved it. Superb tonite.

Based on 2012, May 17 disg. 1.5 g/l dosage. A little over 1.5 yrs since my last btl...this is straight fire! On the nose: roast hazelnut, lemon peel, lemon oil, soft vanilla, candied ginger, soft coppery notes...amazing intensity. On the palate: ginger, lime, nuts, cool mint, fantastic acidity, excellent density..slightly clipped finish, but otherwise faaantastic.

Devoured a couple of bottles of these £47 740s & keep forgetting to review these excellent priced bubbles 😁
