Dehours 2000 Collection Blanc de Pinot Noir (Champagne)
- Editors' Choice
Dehours makes a range of single cépage Champagnes from specific parcels of old vines. This parcel of Pinot Noir in Mareuil-le-Port was aged in wood before blending, giving a superbly ripe, quite toasty, spicy character. It does need time, and is obviously a wine for aging, but even now it has great, ripe peach and lemongrass flavors. Not imported.

Dehours 2002 Collection Blanc de Pinot Noir (Champagne)
- $37
Very dry on the palate, this is nevertheless a rich, full-bodied wine, from a parcel of old vines. The flavors are still young, but show the promise of intense fruitiness, white fruits, and currants. Just a touch of toastiness reveals the fact the wine was aged in barrels before blending.

Dehours 2002 Collection Les Genevraux Pinot Meunier (Champagne)
- $42
Named after a parcel of vines, this superripe wine is made exclusively of Pinot Meunier—it’s rare to taste a wine entirely from this grape. Besides being full-bodied, it is also very minerally in character, it has a steely quality which suggests the ability to age well. Applause to Dehours for indicating the disgorgement date on the back label.
