Description

The Dehours estate was founded by Jérôme’s grandfather, Ludovic, in 1930 and was among the first independent growers. Jérôme’s father, Robert, then took over the reins, but unfortunately he passed away when Jérôme was young, and a group of financial partners took control of the business. In 1996 Dehours was able to take the estate back into family hands with a focus on sustainable viticulture and an increasing emphasis on the character of individual terroirs. Today he uses his excellent wines to demonstrate the outstanding potential of Pinot Meunier, which he holds up as the identity of the Marne Valley and of his estate.

The 2008 Vendanges Extra Brut Brisifer has a clear, pure, fresh and very chalky bouquet with citrus aromas. Terribly pure and fresh on the palate, with remarkable acidity, mineral freshness and structure, this is a highly complex and persistent yet still young Chardonnay from an east-facing lieu-dit in Mareuil-le-Port (Marne Valley). This is pure, fresh, lean and mineral, with great aging potential. Disgorged in September 2017 with a dosage of 2.3 grams per liter. Tasted in Reims, April 2018. Wine Advocate 95 (2008)
