Champagne Dehours Terre de Meunier Extra Brut

94 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team
“The bouquet opens up with warm French baguette notes, balsamic, citrus and grilled toasts. The palate is rich, pure, with lots of tension. The bubbles are silky and teasing all along. It can be paired with oysters, charcuterie platters, panned mushrooms with roast chicken, sushi, maki and sashimi work a treat too. Drink now in a big white wine glass."
A pure Meunier cuvee that hails from two slopes of the same hill, one facing North, the other South, generally with around 15% reserve wine in the blend. 6 grams of dosage. Full Malolactic conversion.
Jérôme Dehours is a third-generation winemaker making deliciously rich and charismatic Champagne from the cool Flagot valley, a side valley on the north-facing left bank of La Vallee de la Marne. His 16 hectares of vineyards cover over 40 different plots across the villages of Mareuil le Port, Cerseuil, Oeuilly and Troissy, all within 3km of his winery, on a variety of expositions and soil types – from clay and sand to limestone, often changing within a single plot.
