FEATURES
🏰 The Dhondt Grellet 'Prestige du Moulin' Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut, often a multi-vintage blend with a significant portion from a base vintage like 2014, is a highly-regarded Grower Champagne celebrated for its complex, mineral-driven profile. The 2014 Champagne vintage, though tricky, saw a warm, dry spring and a benign September that saved the harvest, with Chardonnay performing particularly well. This Champagne is known for its intense and vinous character, offering notes of white flower, walnut, quince, and pear. The palate is chalky and mineral, with good freshness, a creamy texture, and ripe fruit, leading to a well-defined and persistent finish. Expect yeasty bread dough, chestnut, green apple, and a well-balanced acidity, showcasing a fresh, fine, and developed profile with brioche and yellow apple notes.
🍴 This exquisite Blanc de Blancs is a perfect aperitif or a fantastic pairing for delicate seafood. Think fresh oysters, scallop crudo, crab cakes, or lobster bisque. It also complements roast white meats, fried foods, and even a chestnut and chanterelle mushroom ragu in a cream sauce. For a local touch, try it with steamed garoupa or dim sum like shrimp dumplings.
🥂 Ideal for celebrations, special brunches, or as a sophisticated start to any meal. Its vibrant acidity and complex flavors make it a versatile choice for various culinary experiences. Serve chilled at 8-10°C (46-50°F).
