The 2022 Extra-Brut Heurtebise is exquisite. Bright and vibrant in the glass, the 2022 is so silky. The finesse of the mousse is immediately appealing. Pear, apricot, dried flowers and chamomile all grace the palate. Given the natural richness of the year, Alexander Chartogne bottled with a bit less sugar, a decision that paid off handsomely. The 2022 is magnificent. As always, the Heurtebise is a Champagne of tension, energy and subtlety more than power.

The 2022 Blanc de Blancs Heurtebise, disgorged in March 2026 with a dosage of 1.9 grams per liter, unfurls from the glass with a bouquet of apricot, orange oil and almond paste, mingled with nuances of Tahitian vanilla. Medium- to full-bodied, rich and textural, it reveals a generous core of fruit underpinned by racy acidity that propels the wine toward a chalky, bone-dry finish. Retaining a bright, vibrant profile, it bears little imprint of the vintage. This is one of the strongest single-vineyard wines in the Chartogne portfolio, derived from Chardonnay vines now averaging around 40 years of age, with élevage in barrel.
