Aromas of wild berries, brioche, grapefruit, salted nuts and hints of ginger from this delightfully complex Champagne. It’s dry and well structured on the palate, with bright acidity and tight bubbles. Spicy at the end. Based on 2020. 2 g/L dosage.

The current release on the market, which I reviewed last year, is the NV Champagne Cuvee 748 Extra Brut, with a 2020 base, comprising 60% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, and the remainder Meunier. Every year they decrease the Meunier and increase the Pinot Noir. Disgorged in July 2024, with a 2 gram per liter dosage, it’s a rich straw color and is medium to full-bodied, with a good deal of intensity and savory character. I love that they capture a balance of savory and delicate vinosity, but the fruitiness shines in this 700 range cuvée. Even though the spirit of Chardonnay still shines in it, the black fruits of the Pinot Noir also shone brightly at this tasting.
