Production Details This is a non-vintage wine with distinguishable base-year releases. The current base-2023 release combines 2023 wine with reserve wines, was bottled on 29 July 2024, and is Extra Brut at 12.5% alcohol. Its product page associates the listed release with disgorgement on 8 April 2026 and bottle no. 3312 of 3903, but warns that disgorgement dates may vary between deliveries; it recommends serving at 8–10°C. The historical base-2022 release was assembled from Chardonnay parcels in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Puisieulx, underwent spontaneous fermentation and eleven months on lees in 228 L and 400 L barrels, and was bottled without fining or filtration on 1 August 2023. Peak Wines and Best of Wines report October 2025 disgorgement and 2 g/L dosage for that release, while LeRécoltant reports a July 2025 disgorgement at 3 g/L. These appear to be different disgorgement or shipment batches, so no NVXX-wide dosage or disgorgement claim is proposed. Base-2022 alcohol is also unresolved: Marée Haute states 13%, whereas Best of Wines states 12.5%.
Tasting Notes Base-2023 release: white fruit, citrus, white flowers, persistent minerality, fine structure and a persistent finish
