Description
What kind of wine it is
Dhondt Grellet Champagne Les Nogers 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is a refined Traditional Method sparkling wine made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow hue, enhanced by golden highlights and a fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet is inviting, with fruity aromas blending with elegant pastry notes. On the palate, it reveals a fresh sip, perfectly balanced and with a pronounced mineral character, outlining a profile of remarkable longevity.
Where it comes from
This Blanc de Blancs originates in France, in the prestigious Champagne region, from parcels classified as Premier Cru. The vineyards benefit from a north-eastern exposure and are rooted in chalky soil, a vital element that imparts tension and precision to the wine. The nature of the soil enhances the mineral quality that defines Chardonnay grown in this area. Organic farming methods ensure a respectful approach that highlights the unmistakable characteristics of its place of origin.
How it is produced
Production follows the timing of the Traditional Method, with a slow secondary fermentation in the bottle that gives the wine its elegant bubbles. The choice of an Extra Brut dosage aims to maintain a distinctly dry taste, emphasising freshness and purity. Best served at a temperature of 6-8°C, Champagne proves extremely versatile: it pairs ideally with starters, fish, and cheese, and also harmoniously enhances the bold flavours of ethnic cuisine.
