WINE DESCRIPTION

A selection of Chardonnay grapes from nine different Premier Cru vineyards with very chalky and chalk-rich soils, all located exclusively in the municipality of Cuis. The average age of the vines is 45 years, and the grapes are selectively hand-harvested. Only the juice from the first pressing is used, and fermentation takes place spontaneously in barriques, followed by further aging on the fine lees for eight months. For the second fermentation, 30% of reserve wines from a Solera started in 1986 are used, along with 70% of wine from the current vintage. Depending on the vintage, the bottles continue to mature for an additional two to three years. The dosage is 2 to 3 grams per liter, and the total production is approximately 13,000 bottles, 300 magnums, and 50 Jeroboams.

ORIGINS

Winery: Dhondt-Grellet

Region: Champagne

Champagne is a sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region of France, located in the northeast of the country. It is one of the most famous and iconic wine regions in the world, renowned for its unique sparkling wines. The history of Champagne dates back to the early 17th century, when the region was first planted with vines. The region was initially known for its still wines, but it was not until the 19th century that the production of sparkling wines began. The first sparkling Champagne was produced in 1836, and the region has since become synonymous with sparkling wines.
