"A harmonious blend of flavors and indulgence, wonderfully balanced"
"The beautiful ripeness of the grapes gives the wine a relaxed aromatic palette with good intensity. The palate is broad and spherical with a creamy, delicate bubble that adds depth. This is a bottle meant for the table." (Le Guide RVF 2024)

Wine rated (2024 guide) 93/100
Rated estate (2026 guide) 5 stars (Exceptional producers, representing the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and worldwide)
About wine:
2018 base. Harmony of flavors and deliciousness, melts in the mouth, very natural and delicate, refined on the palate with a hint of minerality on the finish and vinosity.
About the estate:
Brought to the top by the Chiquet brothers, Laurent and Jean-Hervé, the house is the standard-bearer for champagne for discerning wine lovers. François Pinault recently acquired a stake in the house. We recommend these great, deep, and distinguished champagnes. Each new cuvée 700 (now 743) is a major creation and receives the utmost attention. It is then left to age under cork before reappearing in a DT (late disgorgement) version. The ultimate reverberation parcels come from Dizy (Corne-Bautray, Chardonnay), Aÿ (Vauzelle-Terme, Pinot Noir) and Avize (Champ-Caïn, Chardonnay), and are only produced when the conditions are optimal. The 2009 vintage has an exemplary lively warmth and endless depth. Magnificent.

Wine rating (2023 guide) 92/100 (Outstanding wine)
About wine:
Disgorged in November 2022 with a dosage of two grams per liter, the NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 746 is from the 2018 vintage. The grapes come from Avize and Oiry (32%) and Hauvillers (68%). It has a delicate, ripe bouquet with aromas of baked bread, ripe orchard fruits, almonds, dried flowers, and smoke. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, it is fleshy with an enveloping fruit core, precise mousse, and a delicate, fragrant finish influenced by ripe orchard fruits.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 3 stars (These represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment.)
About wine:
The grapes' beautiful maturity gives the wine a relaxed aromatic palette and good intensity. The palate is broad and spherical, with creamy, delicate bubbles that add depth. This is a bottle meant for the table.
About the estate:
A new chapter in history is beginning with the departure of brothers Laurent and Jean-Hervé Chiquet, who elevated this fine house to the upper echelons of Champagne. The Artémis group has now taken over the reins under the leadership of Jean Garandeau, but the teams remain unchanged: Yann Le Gall, cellar master, and Mathilde Perrier, vineyard manager, are still there to perpetuate the spirit of the house. The 700 cuvées represent the majority of production. What a long way we have come since the release of 728, from the 2000 vintage! The estate releases a late disgorgement every year, the first of which was 733, based on the 2005 vintage. Only a few small batches are produced, depending on the quality of the vintage.

About wine:
Based on the 2018 vintage, which was an early and ripe solar vintage, Champagne NV Cuvée 746 is dosed at two grams per liter and consists of approximately 50% Chardonnay, the rest Pinot Noir and Meunier, and approximately 25% reserve wine. The wine has a very reflective straw color and is immediately very aromatic, with savory notes of citrus and ripe berries. The palate is juicy and inviting, with accessible silky fruit and fine mousse. It is wonderfully balanced, with the warmth of the vintage, and has a structure that should ensure good longevity over the next 10 to 15 years.
