Dhondt-Grellet Les Terres Fines Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs is an elegant and terroir-driven Champagne from Vertus, showcasing the purity and balance of Chardonnay. A great introduction to the house style, combining precision with approachability.

Vineyard

Sourced primarily from vineyards in Vertus.

The soils are a mix of chalk and clay, giving both minerality and a slightly broader structure compared to pure chalk sites. The continental climate preserves freshness, while careful vineyard work and low yields ensure concentration and precision.

 Winery

Fermentation takes place mainly in stainless steel, with a portion aged in oak barrels to add texture and complexity. A share of reserve wines is included for depth and balance.

The wine is aged on lees for approximately 24–36 months, contributing creaminess and subtle brioche notes.

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

 Nose / Palate

Nose: citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, white flowers, and light pastry notes.

Palate:

elegant, well-integrated acidity

Dhondt-Grellet

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.
