"A great champagne for fine dining! A limited edition cuvée produced in small quantities."
"This is a pure Pinot Noir from a small part of a single vineyard in the village of Dizy, which shows great structure thanks to beautiful phenols and wonderfully ripe fruit. Yet it is dynamic, bright, and well-integrated. It is full-bodied and rich, but fresh. This is a wine that can be paired with all kinds of dishes. No dosage. Drink now or keep." (James Suckling 2024).

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2025 guide) 93/100
Rated estate (2026 guide) 5 stars (Exceptional producers, representing the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and worldwide)
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.

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:
Terres Rouges 2015 is well ripened and shows none of the hallmarks of the vintage. Particularly broad and opulent, the palate reveals a wine that is richer than slender; its generosity is apparent, but the cuvée lacks a little finesse.
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.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 94/100
About wine:
The Dizy-Terres Rouges Premier Cru Extra-Brut 2015 is bright, airy, and nicely spiced. It is a particularly floral and medium-bodied expression of Pinot Noir. Crushed flowers, dried herbs, spices, cedar, and tobacco give the 2015 a strong aromatic presence. Although a little light, the 2015 is very well defined and avoids the assertive vegetal notes that plague so many wines from this vintage. Bottled without dosage. Disgorged: March 2023.
