Champagne Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru Les Terres Fines Dhondt Grellet 75 cl

Descrizione

History

The story of Dhondt-Grellet begins in 1990, when Michel Dhondt decides to devote himself to the cultivation of Chardonnay grapes in the Côte des Blancs region. Initially the grapes were sold to other companies, but in 1996 Michel decided to produce his own Champagne under the name Dhondt-Grellet. Subsequently his son Adrien joins the company and today runs it together with his father. The production is limited and artisanal, with the aim of expressing the maximum of the terroir and of the Chardonnay grapes.
