CHAMPAGNE DHONDT-GRELLET Les Nogers 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut
Sparkling Wine, Chardonnay
2014 – Classic – A variable summer with cool and damp periods was rescued by a warm, dry September. The grapes achieved good ripeness without losing freshness, producing balanced wines with bright fruit, fine acidity, and moderate concentration. The best examples are harmonious, precise, and classically proportioned.
2015 – Powerful – A dry, sunny growing season produced small, evenly ripe berries with relatively high potential alcohol. The wines are concentrated and vinous, with ripe orchard and red fruit, broad texture, and substantial structure. Pinot Noir was particularly successful, giving the vintage a deep and powerful character.
2018 – Powerful – A wet winter and spring replenished water reserves before an exceptionally warm, sunny summer produced a large, ripe crop. The wines are generous and concentrated, with broad fruit, rounded textures, and relatively low acidity. The best examples retain mineral freshness, but the overall character is rich and open.
2019 – Classic – Frost, mildew pressure, and two intense heatwaves reduced yields and required careful sorting, but the surviving fruit achieved excellent maturity. The wines combine concentration with freshness, showing ripe fruit, vibrant acidity, and clear mineral definition. They are powerful in substance but classically balanced in structure.

Champagne Dhondt-Grellet
Over the past two decades, the Grower movement in Champagne has seen the rise to prominence of hundreds of new estates and the fall of nearly as many. Dhondt-Grellet is one of the few new faces to the Champagne scene that has not only maintained its follower base from the start but has gained in acclaim and status every year. There is no doubt anymore that it is one of the most serious new players in Champagne today.
