Dhondt-Grellet 'Les Nogers' Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Extra Brut, Champagne, France 2019

“Les Nogers” Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Extra Brut 2019 is a finely etched, terroir‑focused Chardonnay Champagne from Flavigny. The 2019 shows bright lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, layered with chalk dust, crushed stone, and subtle pastry notes. The palate is precise and linear, with fine mousse, vibrant acidity, and very low dosage highlighting its mineral core. Elegant yet quietly intense, it finishes long and saline, making it a superb expression of Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs with excellent aging potential.

"One of the best wines I have tasted from this estate, the 2019 Champagne Blanc De Blancs Les Nogers Extra Brut has a nose that’s gorgeous and layered, evolving as it opens in the glass. A seamless, intense wine, its licorice, lemon custard, and salty notes linger for ages on the palate, accompanied by accents of spice and energy that are long and sustained. It has structure yet it’s seamless, it’s powerful yet refined, and it goes on for ages. Drink over the coming decades." Jeb Dunnuck 97
