Description
Dehours & Fils has built a cult following for its expressive, terroir-first Meunier Champagnes. Oeil de Perdrix is the domaine’s signature rosé style: pale copper hue, long lees aging, and unique depth from the old perpetual reserve. The 21-base edition is feather-light yet vividly aromatic, combining kirsch, flowers, white pepper and chalk. Zero dosage preserves its tension and precision — a joy for rosé Champagne lovers.

| Review: | The NV Extra Brut Oeil de Perdrix is a stellar wine, quintessential Dehours. This release is 74% Meunier, 15% Chardonnay and 11% a perpetual reserve that goes back to 1989. Rich yet light on its feet, the Oeil de Perdrix is spellbinding in its beauty. Kirsch, rose petals, white flowers, mint, white pepper and crushed rocks are some of the many notes that grace this exquisite, ethereal Champagne. What an absolute joy it is. No dosage.
