A Family Legacy, Reimagined

Founded in 1986 through the union of the Dhondt and Grellet families, Domaine Dhondt-Grellet is a small, family-owned Champagne estate based in Flavigny, just outside Avize in the Côte des Blancs. What began as a modest two-hectare vineyard has grown to approximately six hectares, with parcels spanning some of Champagne's most celebrated terroirs. Today, the domaine is led by Adrien Dhondt, one of the region's most exciting young winemakers, whose distinctive approach has earned the estate a reputation for producing expressive, terroir-driven champagnes.

Food Pairings

With its vibrant acidity, chalky minerality and generous texture, Les Terres Fines is a beautiful companion to fresh seafood and delicate, flavourful dishes. Enjoy alongside freshly shucked oysters, seared scallops, grilled prawns or kingfish crudo with citrus. Its subtle toasted and savoury notes also make it a wonderful match for roast chicken with a creamy mushroom sauce, aged Comté or delicate seafood dishes finished with beurre blanc.

Technical Notes

Les Terres Fines is a 100% Chardonnay Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut, produced from limestone-rich vineyards in Cuis, in the Côte des Blancs. The domaine's broader description of the cuvée identifies nine parcels across Cuis and Chouilly, with vines averaging approximately 45 years of age. The base wines are fermented in oak barrels, contributing texture and complexity while preserving the natural freshness of the fruit. Produced using indigenous yeasts and minimal intervention, this release is based on the 2023 vintage, with an alcohol content of 12% ABV. The supplied information indicates a dosage of 2 g/L, pending confirmation for this particular release.

What to Expect

A beautifully expressive Blanc de Blancs showcasing the remarkable finesse and minerality of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. Bright citrus aromas of lemon zest and grapefruit mingle with ripe green apple, white peach and delicate floral notes, complemented by subtle hints of toasted nuts and freshly baked bread. The palate is generous yet precise, with a fine, lively mousse, vibrant acidity and layers of chalky minerality. Elegant, textured and wonderfully persistent, this is a champagne that balances richness with exceptional freshness.
