MC3, 001-14. Moet & Chandon's new prestige cuvée that launched on 25th June. MC stands for Moet & Chandon; '3' for the reasons listed below. '001' for the first release. '14' for the year of disgorgement (2014). Zalto have made a special glass for it. Produced from 3 varieties from 3 different styles - wines fermented and matured in barrel, wines in stainless steel and already finished champagnes. Also made from 3 different decades. So lots of component parts. Medium golden hue. Some reductive character - but alluring. Lots going on in the nose. Lees, white pepper, apples and quince, toast and honey, nuts - hazelnuts. Some coffee reductive notes in the background. On the palate, medium plus bodied, power and concentration. Round on the mid palate, good finish. Complexity is abundant. Is it harmonious? Not sure. Less is more sometimes. But could be just my own taste profile. NB: they don't intend on having a label. They will etch numbers on the bottles themselves. They will package in something very unique and stand-out. Aimed at the lifestyle audience and priced above Dom Perignon. Richard Geoffroy involved on the project from beginning, with Benoit Gouez choosing the final blends. — 10 years ago

Hennessy Richard. 40 - 200 year old eaux du vie in the blend. Amber-Brown in the glass. Super soft on the palate with a big caramel note. No detectable alcohol flavors. Nice nutmeg and spice on the finish. Impeccable. — 10 years ago
