Dhondt-Grellet 'Roc Solare' Extra Brut, Champagne, France NV

‘Roc Solare’ Extra Brut, Champagne, France

A compelling, terroir-driven Champagne from Adrien Dhondt, one of the most exciting names in grower Champagne. Roc Solare blends 90% Chardonnay with 10% Pinot Noir, sourced from old vines in the Coteaux du Sézannais, where flint-rich soils lend the wine its distinctive mineral character. Aromas of lemon confit, ripe nectarine, dried flowers and ginger mingle with subtle smoky and savory notes. The palate is concentrated yet vibrant, balancing generous fruit with racy acidity and a long, chalky, saline finish. Aged in a combination of stainless steel and oak, with reserve wines adding depth and complexity, this Extra Brut delivers remarkable character and sophistication. A must-try for Champagne lovers looking beyond the familiar grandes maisons.
