"Harmony of flavors and gourmandise, wonderfully balanced "

"Beautifully ripe grapes give the wine a relaxed aromatic palette and good intensity. The palate is broad and spherical, with delicate, creamy bubbles that add depth. This is a bottle for the table. (Le Guide RVF 2024)

Wine rated (guide 2024) 93/100

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 5*Stars (Outstanding producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)

About the wine:

Base 2018. Harmony of flavors and greediness, melt in the mouth, lots of naturalness and looseness, refinement in the mouth and mineral touch on the finish with vinosity.

About the domain :

Brought to the top by the Chiquet brothers, Laurent and Jean-Hervé, the house is the champagne standard-bearer for discerning oenophiles. Recently, François Pinault acquired a stake in the house. We recommend these deep, racy champagnes. Each new cuvée 700 (now 743) is a major creation, and every attention is paid to it. It then waits on corks before reappearing in a DT version (late disgorgement). The ultimate reverberation parcels come from Dizy (Corne-Bautray, chardonnay), Aÿ (Vauzelle-Terme, pinot noir) and Avize (Champ-Caïn, chardonnay), and are only created when the identity situation is optimal. The 2009s are exemplary in their lively warmth and endless depth. Grandiose.

About the wine:

Tasted in November 2022 with a dosage of two grams per liter, NV Extra-Brut Cuvée n° 746 is made 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 fruit, almonds, dried flowers and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, it is fleshy with an enveloping fruit core, a precise mousse and a delicate, perfumed finish influenced by ripe orchard fruit.

About the domain :

A new page of history has been written with the departure of brothers Laurent and Jean-Hervé Chiquet, who brought this fine house to the top of the Champagne world. The Artémis group has now taken over the reins under the direction of Jean Garandeau, but the teams remain unchanged: Yann Le Gall, cellar master, and Mathilde Perrier, vineyard manager, are still there to perpetuate the soul of the house. The 700 cuvées account for the bulk of production. We've come a long way since 728, produced from the 2000 vintage! The estate releases a late disgorgement every year, the first of which was 733, based on 2005. Only a few parcel productions are produced, depending on the quality of the vintage.

About the 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 is made up of around 50% chardonnay, the rest pinot noir and meunier, and around 25% reserve wine. The wine has a highly reflective straw hue and is immediately highly aromatic, with savory notes of citrus and ripe berries. The palate is juicy and welcoming, with accessible silky fruitiness and a fine mousse. It's wonderfully balanced, with the warmth of the vintage, and has a structure that should ensure good longevity over the next 10 to 15 years.
