Cuvee Chasseur

Cuvee 741 Extra Brut Champagne Blend

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The “Cuvée 741” is based heavily on the 2013 vintage and sourced from vineyards in Aÿ, Dizy, Avize, Hautvillers and Oiry. The wine pours a yellow color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of lemons, nuts, brioche and minerals. It seemed to be a bit on the oxidative side right when I pulled the cork but it brightened up after about 30min of air. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and zippy. This is a complex, sophisticated Champagne and always such a delight. Drink now through 2033. Disgorged in December 2017. — a day ago

Revisiting the 2016 Umino from Chasseur. It is still going strong with vibrant red fruit, earthiness, nice acidity. I will miss these when they are gone (final vintage from Chasseur) — 3 months ago

Last bottle. No formal notes. Wow. Just one of the best values I have ever had. Unreal density, purity and length. Saline and flowers. Just brilliant. — 2 months ago

Great nose of spice dark red cherries, some plum and a meatiness. Decaying. leaves and huge minerals. Expansive. Palate has that extraordinary Rebourgeon fruit wrapped in silk. Gorgeous finesse here. Long and juicy. Black and red cherries galore. So well made. — 3 months ago
