"Disgorged in July 2024 with a dosage of 1.1 grams per liter—Dehours's NV Extra-Brut Terre de Meunier is predominantly based on the 2021 vintage, with 16% reserve wines from 2019. Primarily vinified in stainless steel, it delivers a fragrant bouquet of nashi pear, cherry, honeysuckle and white peach. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and concentrated yet taut and incisive, with a vivid core of fruit, mouthwatering acidity and a sapid finish. Excluding his most successful single-parcel bottlings, this may be Dehours's most harmonious non-vintage cuvee this year."

"Full of red fruit, this is slightly flowery with deep, toasty notes. Light-bodied with long, assertive acidity all the way to the finish. Medium-sized bubbles and polished phenolics. Drink now."
