Domaine Dhont-Grellet champagne extra brut from the village of Cramant. Perhaps also lower atmospheres of pressure?
Fermented in barrel, full malo, 70% 2017 harvest, 30% reserve perpetual since 1986. Aged about 2 years on lees. 1 g/l dosage.
Silky, creamy style with a rich buttery feeling in the palate. This seems like a good choice for rich shellfish dishes. — 3 years ago

Hint of smokey rubberiness that sometimes afflicts many of Laurent’s wines. But it is loaded with a material and holding back a lot in reserve. Seems less fussy than before and purer and more transparent as well. — 5 years ago

Cherry aroma with spicy notes, medium color and body, light acidity and tannins, paired well with a meaty Moussaka. — 2 months ago
