Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Bursting with aromas of freshly baked bread, green apple, pear, warm biscuits and wet stones, Dhondt’s NV Extra-Brut Dans un Premier Temps (2019) is medium to full-bodied, broad and textural, with a gourmand, enveloping core of fruit, lively acids and a long, sapid finish. A layered, vinous wine, animated by a pinpoint mousse, it’s the finest rendition of this cuvĂ©e to date.
