Critics reviews

Antonio Galloni 92/100

The NV Extra Brut Dans un Premier Temps is a blend of 50% Chardonnay from Sézanne, 30% Pinot Noir from Avenay de Val d'Or in the Marne Valley and 20% Pinot Meunier from Cuis in the Côte des Blancs. The nose is open and immediately aromatic with creamy, ripe, mellow apple flesh; think crisply cut Red Delicious and porridge topped with fresh apple sauce. 

The palate hits that same apple mellowness but plunges into salty resonance and depth. The fine mousse dissipates a little quickly, but the saltiness and depth are exemplary, mouthwatering and appetising. There is a lovely apple skin hint on the long finish. This is the last time Dhondt made this wine with this composition; future editions will have far more Sézannais fruit in them. 

Dosage is 3gr/L. Disgorged October, 2022.

Drink 2023 - 2030

About this wine

Champagne

Champagne

In 1668, the monk Dom Pérignon is credited with discovering the traditional method of making sparkling wine - a technique now used worldwide. Yet it is only in Champagne, France’s most northerly wine region, that this method produces wines of such finesse and prestige. Today, Champagne is home to over 15,000 growers and 290 Champagne houses. The region’s cool climate often necessitates a blend of grape varieties: Chardonnay brings fruit and elegance, while Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier provide body and backbone.
