Dhondt-Grellet Description
Adrien used to produce a Champagne he called Prestige du Moulin Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs NV. It was sourced from Chardonnay from two villages - Cramant and Chouilly. In an effort to isolate his terroirs and add greater detail and focus to his lineup, he decided to take the Choilly fruit and it to his Terres Fines, thus making this cuvee 100% Cramant Grand Cru Chardonnay.
It is vinified in stainless steel tank. Dosage is between 3g/l to 4g/l. Adrien plans on vinifying this cuvée in barrel in the near future.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
"The NV Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cramant is sourced from two lieux-dits: La Garenne (planted in 1969 and 1970), defined by deep sandy-clay topsoil, and Les Longues Verges (planted in 1985), with chalkier soil but reduced yields due to le court-noué virus. The stricter, more incisive profile of La Garenne is balanced by the concentration and broad-shouldered musculature of Les Longues Verges. Disgorged in July 2024 with 2.5 grams per liter dosage, this new release is based on the 2021 vintage, complemented by 30% of a historical blend. Concentrated and textural, it’s framed by a patina from maturation in barrels (around one-third new). Despite the high-acid vintage base, the wine is expressive and harmonious, offering notes of lemon zest, cedar nut, smoke and toast. It has a bright, lively personality, concluding with an immensely long, saline finish. Its quality and potential are a testament both the judicious élevage and the visionary work in the vineyards."
