"The NV Brut Grand R,serve (2020 base) is a pretty, gracious wine. This release is based on 2020, with 39% reserve wines from a perpetual reserve that dates back to 1998. Dried cherry, tobacco, dried leaves, mint and lifted floral notes all grace this classy, wonderfully understated, airy NV offering from Dehours. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: October, 2022."

"Based on the 2020 vintage, complemented by 39% reserve wines, and disgorged in September 2022 with five grams per liter dosage, the NV Brut Grande Réserve bursts with aromas of pear, apple, honeycomb, toasted nuts, freshly baked bread and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's charming and sensual, with a generous core of fruit and an expansive finish."

"A creamy, softly effervescent Champagne, with pretty notes of apple blossoms and elderflower wafting through flavors of baked white cherry, dried raspberry, salted almond and candied blood orange peel. Shows peach skin texture, with a lightly plump, pleasing juiciness throughout that carries the flavors on the lingering finish. Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Disgorged September 2022. Drink now through 2028. 450 cases imported."

"This vinous version is high-toned and floral on the nose, then chalky in texture and tightly meshed on the palate. Layers racy acidity with flavors of macerated raspberry, singed orange peel, dried flowers and herbs, and slivered almond. Distinctive and probably a good Champagne for food. Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Disgorged May 2023. Drink now. 500 cases imported."
