About the Winery:

increased red fruits, the Cuvée 700 series is all about expressing both terroir and the vintage – the wine changes with each release, rather than being a consistent house blend.

This Champagne is a chardonnay-based blend. 55% comes from the villages of Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers and Champillon while the remaining 45% comes from Avize and Oiry. This Champagne has a base vintage of 2020 with 24% being reserve wines. Disgorged in October 2024, there is 2 g/L dosage.

This is a precise and structured Champagne that has a focus on freshness and minerality. The aromatic profile has notes of fresh pear, citrus zest and lightly toasted hints. On the palate there is white fruits, citrus and a hint of brioche. The finish is elegant and saline.

Ratings & Reviews:

94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:

The current release on the market, which I reviewed last year, is the NV Champagne Cuvee 748 Extra Brut, with a 2020 base, comprising 60% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, and the remainder Meunier. Every year they decrease the Meunier and increase the Pinot Noir. Disgorged in July 2024, with a 2 gram per liter dosage, it’s a rich straw color and is medium to full-bodied, with a good deal of intensity and savory character. I love that they capture a balance of savory and delicate vinosity, but the fruitiness shines in this 700 range cuvée. Even though the spirit of Chardonnay still shines in it, the black fruits of the Pinot Noir also shone brightly at this tasting. It has a bold but elegant feel, with a pillowy mousse and salinity. Drink 2025-2040. (Drink between 2025-2040)

94 Points - James Suckling:
Aromas of wild berries, brioche, grapefruit, salted nuts and hints of ginger from this delightfully complex Champagne. It’s dry and well structured on the palate, with bright acidity and tight bubbles. Spicy at the end. Based on 2020. 2 g/L dosage. Disgorged November 2024. Drink now or hold.

93 Points - Vinous:
The 20th anniversary of this bottling is gorgeous. Dried pear, crushed flowers, mint, chamomile and spice all grace the palate. The No. 748 is not quite as austere as some recent releases in this series, which means it will drink quite well right out of the gate. Floral notes lift the finish, adding precision and energy. The No. 748 is one of the most elegant and refined editions of this wine I can remember tasting. Dosage is 2 grams per liter. Disgorged: August 2024. (Drink between 2025-2035)
