Champagne Cuvee 740
The NV Cuvée No. 740 Extra-Brut is based on the 2012 vintage and contains about 20% of reserve wines. All of the wines are fermented and aged for about 12 months in 225- to 4,000-liter oak vats. Malolactic is never blocked, but the Chiquet brothers do some bâtonnage. The white-golden colored Cuvée No. 740 offers a ripe, deep and elegant bouquet and reflects the more oxidative house style. On the palate, this is a pure, highly finessed and elegant cuvée that blends Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. It is pure and salty, with an elegant texture and a long, well-structured finish. A great Champagne. My sample was disgorged in May 2017. Tasted April 2018. 93/100
