"The NV Brut Grand Réserve is an attractive, Meunier-driven offering. Dried pear, crushed flowers, chamomile, mint and sage lend notable complexity to this mid-weight, vinous offering. There's lovely nuance and a good bit of character here as well. Impressive. Dosage is 4 grams per liter." —Vinous

"Disgorged in July 2019 with 5.5 grams per liter dosage, the NV Brut Grande Réserve is based on the 2016 vintage, complemented by around one-third reserve wines from a solera started in 1998. Much like a somewhat earlier disgorgement of the same tirage that I reviewed last year, it's showing very well, wafting from the glass with notes of pear, mandarin oil, elder flower, smoke and honeycomb. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly fleshy and precise, with a perfumed core of fruit, lively acids and a pearly mousse, it's beautifully seamless and elegant. " —Robert Parker

"A creamy, softly effervescent Champagne, with pretty notes of apple blossoms and elderflower wafting through flavors of baked white cherry, dried raspberry, salted almond and candied blood orange peel. Shows peach skin texture, with a lightly plump, pleasing juiciness throughout that carries the flavors on the lingering finish. Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir."

More about

Jerome Dehours is from an old Champagne family and he decided to go "Grower" around 1996, long before the term was known here in the U.S. It took years of gradually transforming his domaine, selling less of his grapes off every year, as he introduced radically improved techniques in the vine and in the cellar. All this is great news for us, because he now produces brilliant Pinot Meunier-based Champagnes from an obscure corner of Champagne south of the Marne known as the Vallee de Fagot, where the soil is dominated by limestone from fossilized marine animals. He is working in an increasingly natural approach; he no longer blocks malos and has moved towards using only trace amounts of sulphur.
