The Wine Independent: 95 Points

Based on the generous 2018 vintage the 746 fills the glass with a pale pink nuclear explosion of fine bubbles forming columns of visible freshness. A blend of 60% Chardonnay 30% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Meunier it is perfumed and succulent with slightly oxidized notes of ripe red apple mixed in with lemon confit rose water chalk dust and hints of spice. The medium to full-bodied palate is plush with showy red fruit that shimmers amid a vibrant acid energy that brings loads of freshness to the long finish. Disgorged February 2023 and finished with a two gram per liter dosage. 242012 bottles 9770 magnums and 398 jeroboams were produced. Reviewed by: Sarah Mayo Review date: 2023-11-08

Disgorged in November 2022 with two grams per liter dosage the NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 746 is based on the 2018 vintage. The grapes were sourced from Avize and Oiry (32%) and Hauvillers (68%). Showing nicely it offers up a delicate ripe bouquet with aromas of baked bread ripe orchard fruits almonds dried flowers and smoke. Medium to full-bodied it?s fleshy with an enveloping core of fruit a pinpoint mousse and a delicate perfumed ripe orchard fruit-inflected finish.
