Adrien Dhondt 'Avise Les Pisseraines' Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut Millesime, Champagne, France 2018
“Avize Les Pisseraines” Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut Millésimé 2018 is a rare, single-vineyard Champagne from Champagne Adrien Dhondt, showcasing old-vine Chardonnay from one of Avize’s most prized chalk-rich sites. The 2018 vintage opens with layered aromas of lemon oil, white peach, baked apple, brioche, and toasted almond, accented by delicate floral lift and pronounced chalky minerality. The palate is richly textured yet laser-focused, with vibrant acidity and an ultra-fine mousse driving exceptional tension and precision through the long, saline finish. Low dosage preserves crystalline purity while extended lees aging adds depth and complexity.
