2021 Champagne Dhondt-Grellet 'Les Cotes Au Vent' Extra Brut, Champagne, France
$215.00
This new single-parcel cuvée is crafted from old-vine Pinot Meunier (planted in 1954) in Cuis, on one of the northernmost slopes of the Côte des Blancs with a southeast-facing exposure. Planted on thin, silty-chalk soils, the site yields a remarkably precise and mineral expression of Meunier—an uncommon variety in this Chardonnay-dominated region. Vinified entirely in barrel with full malolactic fermentation and aged eight months on lees (no filtration), the 2021 debut reflects a challenging vintage, resulting in a wine defined by freshness, finesse, and clarity rather than power—an elegant and atypical Blanc de Noirs from the Côte des Blancs. Dosage: 2.5 g/L (Extra Brut)
Arriving late April 2026.
