Dehours Grande Reserve Brut Champagne NV

80% Pinot Meunier, 10% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir
2022 base vintage, with 32% perpetual reserve wines (solera method began in 1998)

Disgorged in December 2024 with a dosage of one gram per liter, Dehours’s NV Brut Grande Réserve is built on the 2022 vintage and bolstered by 40% to 50% reserve wines from a perpetual cuvée initiated in 1998, it opens with expressive aromas of pear, peach, orange zest and honeysuckle. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and ample, underpinned by vibrant acidity. Demonstrative and approachable, this wine promises immediate pleasure. Drink 2025-2032. 92 points Kristaps Karklins, Wine Advocate

The NV Brut Grand Reserve is an attractive, Pinot 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. Antonio Galloni, Vinous
