'The NV Extra-Brut Perpetual Reserve Lieu Dit Brisefer (2017 base), from Chardonnay vines planted in 1947, offers striking complexity and nuance, qualities further amplified by the perpetual reserve that dates back to 2013. Readers will find an intensely savory, earthy Chardonnay endowed with tons of character. This distinctive Blanc de Blancs has so much to offer. There's a bit of oak character, but not enough to be distracting. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: April, 2022. 2023-2031' &ndsh; Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92/100

‘Disgorged in May 2020 with 0.9 grams per liter dosage, the NV Extra-Brut Lieu-Dit Brisefer derives from a perpetual reserve established in 2013—this release therefore incorporates wine from 2013, 2014 and 2015. This east-facing parcel of old vines has delivered fascinating results, unwinding in the glass with complex aromas of pear, orange oil, mint, tangerine, pastry cream and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered, it's deep and enveloping, displaying racy acids and a pillowy mousse, with an elegant profile that doesn't come at the expense of character or intensity. 2021-2033’ – William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 95/100
‘The NV Extra-Brut Perpetual Reserve Lieu Dit Brisefer is 100% Chardonnay, vintages 2015 to 2013, bottled in 2017. It shows lovely complexity and a good bit of nuance from the combination of vintages as well as vinification in oak. Hints of lemon confit, white flowers, mint, white pepper and crushed rocks run through this chiseled, wonderfully nuanced Blanc de Blancs. The aromatics could be a touch more focused, but there's terrific depth and tons of character here. Dosage is 0.9 grams per liter. Disgorged: May, 2020. 2022-2028’ – Antonio Galloni,Vinous, 92/100

| Producer information | Founded in the 1930s, Dehours & Fils is run by the third generation vigneron, Jérôme Dehours. They farm 42 parcels over 14.5 ha split between the villages of Mareuil-la-Port (Montagne de Reims); and Oeuilly, Cerseuil and Troissy (Vallée de la Marne). This area, Vallée de Flagot, named for the small river flowing through the valley to meet the Marne River, has a cool climate. It is perfect for growing Pinot Meunier, the corner stone of Dehours Champagne. As for the style at Dehours, the wines are respectful of the rich and bold flavours of the Pinot Meunier with a vibrant energy the result of a low dosage from brut to extra brut cuvées. |
