Dehours Terre de Meunier Extra Brut NV Bottle size: 750ml
France, Champagne
R955
Disgorgement date: July 2022
The current Champagne has not yet been rated; please see the tasting notes on the previous disgorgement date:
‘The NV Terre de Meunier Extra Brut is 100% Pinot Meunier, the most important grape variety in the Marne Valley where Jérôme Dehours is located. This cuvée is based on the vintages 2013 and 2014 (plus a small proportion of Reserve wines aged in oak) and was bottled in June 2015. Disgorged in September 2016 with a dosage of two grams per liter, this Pinot Meunier opens with a reductive and spicy fruit bouquet. The perlage is fine, the wine lithe, pure, lean and pretty straight but well-structured. The finish is fresh but slightly astringent. It should be delicious with raw fish and even more so in a couple of years. Tasted November 2017. 2020-2026’ – Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, 88+/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. |
