Wine:
The 741 Late Disgorgement Champagne is one of those great bottles that make an impression at our tastings. It epitomizes the stereotype of great Champagnes: precise, fresh, refined, taut, and persistent. From the moment it's opened, there are notes of dried fruits and roasted hazelnut. The bubbles are remarkably fine and tense. This high-level wine pairs beautifully with a plate of Pata Negra, Parmigiano Reggiano, or salmon roe on toasted country bread with thick cream.
