Champagne Dhondt-Grellet

Domaine Dhondt-Grellet was founded in 1986 when Éric Dhondt and Édith Grellet married and decided to vinify their own grapes rather than sell to négociants. Beginning with just 2 ha of vines, which has now tripled in size, their son Adrien, born in 1991, took to the helm in 2010. In doing so, he has become a modernist vanguard of the artisanal winegrowing revolution in Champagne in just 10 years, reshaping the expression of single-site Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay) champagne from the esteemed Côte des Blancs through strict organic and biodynamic viticulture, and closely controlled yields.

Headquartered in the small township of Flavigny (east of Avize), the Domaine cultivates predominantly old-vine Chardonnay across the Grand Cru and Premier Cru villages of Cramant and Cuis in the Côte des Blancs, along with a portion of Chardonnay from the Côte de Sézanne, Meunier from Cuis and Pinot noir from the Vallée de la Marne. The average age of vines is 45 years, and vineyards are mostly south-facing on light, calcareous soils. Fruit is harvested at optical ripeness, in low yields, and each plot is vinified separately, undergoing barrel fermentation with natural yeasts and malolactic fermentation, before sur lie maturation in barrel to give greater concentration, texture and vinosity to the cuvées. The family has kept a perpetual reserve since 1986, of which 30% is blended into their non-vintage cuvées to give generosity and opulence.

Adrien cites vignerons in Burgundy and Champagne as inspiration and considers his much-revered neighbour, Anselme Selosse, to be an important role model, ‘Anselme has influenced me a lot, because he succeeded in realising his own conception of wine: whether one likes or dislikes them, his wines are unique in the world. He showed me the path I was looking for’. Without a doubt, with his Burgundian approach and unwavering commitment to expressing distinctive terroir through respectful viticulture, Adrien is well on his way to realising his own singular vision of wine.

Grower-producer v's Grande Marque: What's the diff Grower-producer v's Grande Marque: What's the difference?

At Sally Hillman we consider there are two broad categories of champagne; one is produced on a large scale by the well-known Grandes Marques, the other category consists of the grower champagnes, also known as récoltant manipulant champagnes.

Grandes Marques (‘Great Brands’), largely drive Australia’s champagne market. As the most prominent Houses, the Grandes Marques have a long history of wine production in Champagne, achieving fame and fortune through the creation of non-vintage champagne blends that remain consistent in style each year. Their success lies in delivering a reliable experience for the consumer and in promoting aspirational ideals of luxury, celebrity and celebration that have been heavily marketed for the past two centuries.

Grower champagnes are produced by the growers themselves (also called grower-producers), who pride themselves on creating champagnes from vines that are exclusively their own. These Houses are family-owned and operated, and estate holdings are generally no more than a few hectares, passed down from generation to generation. Their aim is to craft wines from low yields and sustainable farming practices, vinified using natural, low-intervention winemaking processes that hone in on site-specific expressions of fruit, terroir and vintage.

Domaine Vincey 'Interlude' NV Lemon gold in colou Domaine Vincey 'Interlude' NV

Lemon gold in colour, Interlude NV pours forth with an intriguing fragrance of stone fruit, garden blossom, lanolin and dried honey. 

On the palate, the cuvée is immensely textural and rich, peeling back to reveal fleshy layers of papaya and ripe orange with waxy highlights—natural, like the coating of orchard apples, and delicate, like honeycomb, chewy with beeswax. 

There’s a distinctive, uplifting note of creamy lemon-lime on the mid to late palate, reminiscent of lemon myrtle, as a clear line of minerality builds into the orchestrally long finish. 

A most successful maiden voyage for Interlude NV. 

Interlude NV was manually disgorged in December 2021 and finished with zero dosage. 

Only 1238 bottles were produced.

🥂 Best enjoyed from the Lehmann F. Sommier, Dionysos 66 Ultralight machine-made glass.

🍽 🧀 Enjoy with creamy and savoury cheeses, such as an ashed goat’s cheese or a mild and meaty washed-rind cow’s milk cheese.

🍷Lehmann F. Sommier Ariane 72cl Perfect for li 🍷Lehmann F. Sommier Ariane 72cl

Perfect for light-bodied red wines with floral notes, such as Burgundy, Pinot noir, Gamay and Nebbiolo.

These wines are delicate with ethereal aromas, which means the glass must have a relatively fuller and wider bowl than both ‘Bordeaux’ and ‘standard’ red wine glasses. 

A wider bowl enhances aeration to develop the lighter aromas, allowing them to collect at the gently inward sloping rim. 

The body of the glass should also be relatively shorter than both the ‘Bordeaux’ and ‘standard’ red wine glasses to allow for the detection of more subtle, fragrant aromas due to the nose’s proximity to the wine.
