Les Nogues Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 2019 Champagne Dhondt-Grellet
キュイ村の古樹が描く、塩気ある余韻。
シャルドネとテロワールの表現を追求するアドリアン・ドントによる、単一畑キュヴェ。コート・デ・ブラン北端のプルミエ・クリュ、キュイ村で、樹齢40〜50年を超える古樹が石灰質土壌に根を張ります。スイカズラや杉、マンダリンオレンジの皮、ほのかなスモークの香り。2019年の豊かさが涼やかさと塩気、穏やかなオークの骨格に引き締められ、長い余韻へと続きます。牡蠣や刺身、帆立の軽い火入れと。
Tasting note
From the glass wafts honeysuckle, cedar, mandarin orange peel, and a hint of smoke. The sensual beauty of a rich vintage such as 2019 is held in check by coolness, salinity and a gentle oak framework, with notes of apricot kernel, mandarin, and turmeric spice expanding smoothly with golden pastry nuances derived from lees aging. Sweet spices and citrus with ripe bitterness lead to a long, dancing finish. This is a captivating and delicate wine with subtlety hidden deep within its broad style.
Food pairing

This single-vineyard cuvée is crafted by Adrien Dhondt, a rising star in grower Champagne. Admiring the great white winemakers of Burgundy, he pursues the expression of Chardonnay and terroir, and was named "Winemaker of the Year" at the 2017 Trophée Champenois. The vineyard is located in Cuis, a Premier Cru village at the northern tip of the Côte des Blancs. This is one of the few single-vineyard bottlings from this village, where old Chardonnay vines, 40 to 50 years old and over, are rooted in calcareous soil. Aromas of Meyer lemon, white flowers, crushed stone, and roasted hazelnut emerge, while crisp acidity and chalky tension lead to a long, saline finish. It's a wine where precision, energy, and elegance are in perfect balance.
