Champagne Dhondt Grellet - Les Terres Fines - Premier Cru - Magnum
Domaine Dhondt-Grellet is located in Flavigny, at the gates of Avize, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs in Champagne. The 6-hectare vineyard is planted with Chardonnay (in the municipalities of Cramant, Chouilly and Cuis) and Pinot Noir in Avenay-Val-d´Or in the Grande Vallées de la Marne. In 1986, Eric Dhondt and Edith Grellet decided to stop selling grapes to merchants and launched Dhondt-Grellet. Their son, Adrien, now in his twenties, has taken over the winemaking and quickly takes his family's wines to another level. He slowly widened the range of Champagnes produced by isolating their plots across the villages of Cramant and Cuis and bottling the pure expressions of Chardonnay.
Les Terres Fines is a Blanc de Blanc Premier Cru, from Chardonnay vines of nine different plots, all from soils rich in limestone in Cuis with an average age of 45 years. The base vintage represents 70% of the blend, the rest coming from a perpetual reserve dating back to 1986. The dosage is 0 g/L.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
