This is the champagne we first tasted from Adrien Dhondt’s estate, in a bistro with just a few tables in the Champagne region. A Blanc de Blancs blend from Premier Cru vineyards in the northern part of the Côte des Blancs, fermented in used barrels. Before bottling, the 2021 base wine was topped up with 30% of reserve wine. The Dhondt-Grellet family’s reserve wine is a true living reservoir: since 1986, wine from every vintage has been continuously blended into it, carrying nearly 40 years of accumulated flavours.

Bottled in August 2022.
Disgorged in November 2024
Dosage: 2.5 g/l
