"The NV Extra Brut Oeil de Perdrix is a stellar wine, quintessential Dehours. This release is 74% Meunier, 15% Chardonnay and 11% a perpetual reserve that goes back to 1989. Rich yet light on its feet, the Oeil de Perdrix is spellbinding in its beauty. Kirsch, rose petals, white flowers, mint, white pepper and crushed rocks are some of the many notes that grace this exquisite, ethereal Champagne. What an absolute joy it is. No dosage. Disgorged: September, 2022."

"Based on the 2020 vintage, complemented by some 11% reserve wines drawn from a perpetual reserve dating back to 1998, and disgorged in September 2022, Dehours's NV Extra-Brut Oeil de Perdrix offers up inviting aromas of pear, sweet red berries, verbena, honey and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and ample, with a pillowy mousse and supple, charming profile, it's a lovely Champagne."

"A rich Champagne defined by well-honed acidity, with pastry cream and marzipan notes underscoring flavors of baked blackberry and black cherry fruit, crystallized honey, lemon preserves and toast. Meunier and Chardonnay. Disgorged January 2022. Drink now through 2028. 80 cases imported."
