Dhondt-Grellet Blanc de Noirs Les Côtes au Vent Premier Cru is a terroir-driven Champagne showcasing the depth and structure of Pinot Noir, while maintaining freshness and precision. A great choice for those seeking a more gastronomic and expressive style of Champagne.

Vineyard

The vineyards are planted on chalk-rich soils with some clay influence, giving both structure and minerality. Located on well-exposed slopes, benefiting from optimal sun exposure while retaining freshness due to the continental climate.

Yields are kept low to enhance concentration and express the terroir.

Winery

Fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, adding both precision and depth. A portion of reserve wines may be included depending on the base vintage.

The wine is aged on lees for approximately 24–36 months, developing texture and complexity.

Dosage: around 2–4 g/l (Extra Brut style – very dry)

Nose / Palate

Nose: red berries (raspberry, wild strawberry), citrus zest, subtle spice, and light toasted notes.

Dhondt-Grellet

Dhondt-Grellet is a small, family-run grower in the Côte des Blancs, now led by Adrien Dhondt, one of the most exciting voices of the new Champagne generation. Taking over at a young age, Adrien transformed the estate - farming around 6 hectares of Grand and Premier Cru vineyards - with a focus on living soils, organic and biodynamic principles, and meticulous parcel work. 

Deeply inspired by Burgundy, his approach prioritizes ripeness, texture, and terroir expression, with nearly all wines fermented and aged in oak barrels using native yeasts and minimal intervention. Each cuvée is precise and site-driven, often highlighting individual plots from villages like Cramant and Cuis, resulting in wines that are both mineral and richly structured. 

Production remains limited, and the style is unmistakable - pure, layered, and intensely vinous Champagnes that bridge the finesse of the Côte des Blancs with a deeper, more textural expression. Dhondt-Grellet stands as a benchmark for modern grower Champagne, combining craftsmanship, curiosity, and a strong sense of place.
