Hure Freres Memoire Extra Brut, Champagne, France NV

“Mémoire” Extra Brut is a distinctive, terroir‑driven Champagne built from a solera of reserve wines, giving it remarkable depth and complexity. Aromas of baked apple, pear skin, toasted nuts, brioche, and subtle spice lead into a layered, vinous palate. The mousse is fine, the dosage low, and the finish long and chalk‑tinged, with a savory, oxidative edge. Serious and expressive, this is Champagne for the table—textural, complex, and deeply characterful.

" The NV Champagne Mémoire Extra Brut, produced from 1982 to 2021, has a medium yellow straw color. The 2021 is 10% of the blend, aged in a 5000-liter cask. This is a medium to full-bodied wine, filling the senses and giving the impression of volume. It maintains the lasting focus that the house carries, with notes of toasty bread, iodine, and orange peel, evoking a full-bodied sensation. However, it is tailored, with great freshness and a rounded and pillowing mousse." Jeb Dunnuck 96
