From a magnum bottle, this wine emanates a delightful bouquet of apples, honey, nuts, chalk, lemon, and candied pears. It's very young, yet it shows promise with its freshness, roundness, and relatively creamy texture. Nicely balanced, it finishes with a long and flavourful aftertaste, making it a truly lovely wine.
About
Cuvée 746, born from the 2018 harvest, is composed of grapes from Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers (68%), Avize, and Oiry (32%) with a small portion of reserve wines. It reflects a season that began with a rainy winter and a mild, stormy spring, followed by fine, dry conditions from June onwards. These climatic conditions led to an early harvest, yielding grapes in perfect health with excellent ripeness and moderate acidity. After, vinification and élevage in oak casks on lees, the wine spends 3 years in the bottle on lees before disgorgement in November 2022.
