Everything is done with great attention to detail, including traditional pressing methods and fermentation and storage of reserves in oak. The style throughout the range is one of intricacy and finesse, built on relatively complex blends; the wines age well. Perfection is the modestly titled Brut non-vintage, a wine with more concentration than most of its rivals (though some way short of its name); the company begins to approach perfection with the best of its Signature vintage range (like the complete and stately 1990 or the arrestingly intense 1988) and with its Degorgement Tardif series of late releases. The labels are as elegant and refined as the wines (which is surprisingly rare in Champagne). Andrew Jefford – The New France

The 746 is a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay from the 2018 vintage.

On the nose there are uplifting notes of lemon zest, grapefruit and subtle toasted wood while the first sip reveals a crisp acidity, medium body and delicate mousse from the fine bubbles. It's a dry Champagne that makes it a great aperitif.
