Size: 750ml
Grape: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier (about 50% Chardonnay in Côtes des Blanc, and the remained Noir and Meunier from Avenay and Cuis).
Producer: Adrien Dhondt, son of founders Eric Dhondt and Edith Grellet
Region: Côtes des Blancs in Champagne, France
In the cellar: Dhondt’s flagship cuvee, ‘Dans un Premier Temps,’ is comprised of fruit from all three, to the tune of roughly 50% Chardonnay and the remainder Noir and Meunier, from Avenay and Cuis respectively. 
Farming method: Biodynamic; their vineyards are situated primarily in Grand and Premier Crus of the Côtes des Blancs, namely Cramant and Chouilly, but they also have Chardonnay planted in the Côtes de Sézanne, and parcels in Vallée de la Marne. 
Tasting notes: The nose is toasty and savory with a hint of high toned citrus. A memorable Champagne with a decadent, vivid finish.
