Dhondt-Grellet Les Terres Fines Blanc de Blancs

Adrien Dhondt is undoubtedly one of the rising talents in Champagne. His dedication to experimentation in both the vineyard and cellar and his willingness to push the envelope make his wines some of the most exciting expressions of true grower Champagne we have discovered. Adrien isn’t scared of using barrels during fermentation, which give his wines a richness to offset the beautiful minerality that defines his wines. If you are a champagne lover, do not miss this week’s special opportunity.

“Wafting from the glass with aromas of honeyed orchard fruits, freshly baked bread and frangipane, Dhondt’s NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Les Terres Fines (2019) is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a satiny attack and a deep, seamless mid-palate that’s girdled by racy acids. Penetrating and precise, it’s already beautifully integrated only shortly after disgorgement.” 95 points Parker
