Tasting Notes
4.2
This wine is more approachable than its 745 counterpart, offering a friendly mix of candied pears, bakery spices, brioche, butter, honey, and chalk. Its richness and roundness are complemented by a lengthy, satisfying finish.
4.2
This wine captivates with its charm and complexity. The bouquet is a delightful blend of baked apples intermingled with honey and nuts, complemented by notes of chalk and candied pears. Hints of lemon candies and a subtle whisper of Jerez add layers to its aromatic profile. On the palate, it's round and fresh with a slightly creamy texture, achieving a nice balance that makes it remarkably easy to drink.
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.
