Dhondt-Grellet

Assemblage "Dans un Premier Temps..." Extra Brut Champagne

Jan A
9.1

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!

2019 base vintage.
