Pure Chardonnay from the Grand Cru village of Oger, this wine is creamy and ripe. If judging on a “brioche” scale – we give this a high 7 or 8 out of 10 – it’s a toasty one in the best possible way! A gorgeous mineral mouthfeel keeps it crisp and tight, but this flows with considerable plushness and generosity of fruit. Bubble jumps from the glass like lemon zest, then this beautiful almond, pear tart flavor unfolds. Gorgeous!

Delicious With

Lovely with seafood of all kinds and preparations, especially salmon roe, scallops or lobster in butter sauce. Try with cream sauces like alfredo, or a simple filet, chicken breast, or risotto drenched in Beurre Blanc sauce.

Their Cred

José is a third-generation winegrower, currently at the helm of this small estate on the main road in Oger. Dhondt's grandfather came to the Champagne region from Belgium in 1924; José himself has been making wine here since 1976, after returning to the family estate in 1973 following his military service. Dhondt owns five hectares of vines, primarily in Oger but also a little in the neighboring village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and also in Saudoy in the Sézanne, where he grows both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. He uses a traditional Coquard vertical press along with a full array of temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks that he uses for fermentation. Malolactic is always carried out to balance the naturally high acidity of the Côte des Blancs chardonnay.
