Wine Region: Champagne - France
Grape: Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay
Tasting notes: The Dehours NV Extra-Brut Réserve Perpétuelle Maisoncelle is based on the 2016 vintage, complemented by 30% of reserve wines from the previous four vintages. Offering up aromas of pear, apple, white flowers and freshly baked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, taut and incisive, with a bright spine of acidity, a tight-knit core and a chalky finish. Structured and serious, this is a beautifully balanced wine that should develop well in the cellar.
