Domaine Dehours

Extra Brut Oeil De Perdrix Champagne Blend

9.1

First off, this color. It’s such a soft beautiful copper rose hue in the glass. Sexy perlage with small crisp bubbles that go on and on. A rather impressive and floral nose right out of the gate with fresh flowers, peaches, and the prettiest hint of spice. Effusive notes of strawberry and lemon peel. If you can let it sit for a while, you’ll discover red apples, oak, and minerality.

Delightfully zero dosage which gives you that bracing acidity. No dosage isn’t for everyone or every champagne but it most certainly the correct choice here by Jerôme Dehours. A disciple of Anselme Selosse, this is organic and very terroir driven. Disgorged in November of 2019, the blend is 83% Pinot Meunier with 17% Chardonnay. Another master of Meunier.

Exceedingly dry and complex, this is not your everyday bottle of rosé bubbles. Sleek and sensual with all the complexity you could ever want. Quite herbal up front on the palate, there’s so much refined and elegant red fruit here. Pastries and citrus fruits abound. The finish is long with a touch of cinnamon. A superstar champagne from a deserving rising star. — 3 years ago

Pinot Meunier at it's best, lookout Jerôme Prévost, this is a great expression of this grape, very small lot only about 300 bottles.
A pure tasting experience which I simply adore😍 — 8 years ago

Jerôme Prevost, La Closerie 2010, 100% Pinot Meunier, extra-brut, only 6000 bottles produced for each vintage. Spicy, impulsive, slightly smoky, very complex: probably my favorite champagne ever! — 11 years ago
