Dhondt-Grellet, Champagne 'Roc Solare' Extra Brut NV sell-when-out-of-stock but underneath it all is

but underneath it all is a mineral streak and spice-peppered palate

This is a masterclass in aromatics

It's all schist too

and some time in barrel rounds things out beautifully

Dhondt-Grellet, Champagne 'Roc Solare' Extra Brut NV sell-when-out-of-stock but underneath it all isPlace: Champagne, France Grape: Chardonnay + Pinot Noir Vibe: Classic Chardonnay dominates the blend here, with a sprinkling of Pinot Noir just to give it a bit of backbone. Grapes come from meticulously selected plots in the Cte de Sezannais. Apples and citrus fruit come leaping out the glass and up ya nose at first, followed by hazelnuts and a fresh, creamy palate. Seriously top stuff. ABV: 12%
