2018 base. Disgorged Oct 2021. Focused flavors of citrus, apple and some tropical fruit, excellent acidity. Solid champagne that was in against some real big boys and likely would have scored higher on its own.

2019 base, 2022 disgorgement. Pretty lean and linear but some apple and tropical fruit.

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.
Lively bubbles, weighty and chewy, distant sherryish oxidative notes on the nose, and freshly roasted pineapples in the glass, but ultimately a bit too much going on for me.
