Les Côtes au Vent is a sparkling wine from Dhondt-Grellet in Champagne, France, listed here in the 2021 vintage.
Eric Dhondt and Edith Grellet started the domaine in 1986, when they stopped selling their grapes to negociants and began estate bottling. Their holdings are spread across the Côte des Blancs. Their son Adrien, now in his 20s, has taken over the winemaking. He has gradually widened the range by isolating their parcels in the villages of Cramant and Cuis and bottling pure expressions of Chardonnay. The family has worked with a perpetual reserve since 1986. Each year Adrien draws off 30% of it for tirage, tops it up with wine kept back from the new vintage, and racks the blend to barrel in May with the fresh lees of the latest vintage.
