Base champagne of Dhondt Grellet. I get a beautiful balanced nose suggesting a very high end champagne. On the palate I get that vinous quality of still wine popping through. Brioche, yeasty, bread. The bubbles are a bit course and edging towards harshness and that brings me to the rest of the palate where there is plenty acidity but also a bit thin.

A base champagne that is definitely punching above it's weight!

Citrus and tropical fruit, lychee is prominent, toasty brioche, cream. Fine bubbles, light body, but textured. Lively and exciting from start to finish. — 3 years ago

9.1

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. — 2 years ago
