A new addition from Adrien Dhondt, ‘Roc Solare’ focuses on the rarely mentioned fifth subregion of Champagne, the Côte de Sézanne. The family has always had plots there, and the flinty, sunny and warm vineyards here are quite different in character to Adrien's parcels near Côte des Blancs. (This is why he decided to release from this area, which had previously formed the base for ‘Dans un Premier Temps’, as a separate item.) A blend of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir from 45-year-old vines. The base wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks and barriques. At bottling, 30% reserve wine from the 2021 vintage was blended in.

Bottling: August 2022.
