(94+ points) The NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Les Terres Fines (2020) has turned out brilliantly, wafting from the glass with aromas of citrus oil, apple blossom, crisp stone fruit and buttery pastry, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and chiseled palate that's layered and concentrated, with lovely tension and a bright, saline finish. - William Kelley

Made from 70% 2019 and 30% reserve perpetuelle, the golden straw-colored NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs Les Terres Fines Extra Brut is savory and toasty with aromas of incense, Mirabelle plum, overripe Meyer lemon, and saline. Persistent from the get-go, with an expansive mousse, it’s a powerful wine with a ripe core of citrus oils, savory salinity, and driving mineral texture that’s broad on the palate. It has a light, almost natural feel in terms of its profile, but it’s clean. It demands a bit more time in bottle before drinking 2025-2035. 1.5 grams per liter dosage and disgorged March 2022. - Audrey Frick

The current release of les Terroirs Fines from Dhondt-Grellet hails from the base year of 2014 and includes thirty percent reserve wines from their solera, started all the way back in 1986. It was finished with a dosage of two grams per liter and disgorged in December of 2016. The bouquet is now starting to show some secondary layers in its complex mix of pear, delicious apple, brioche, lovely, chalky soil tones, a whisper of oak and plenty of upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and beautifully balanced, with a lovely core, elegant mousse, bright, seamless acids and excellent length and grip on the complex and bone dry finish. The combination of the extended bottle age and the thirty percent reserve wines from the solera allows for the very low dosage to work beautifully, and this wine is drinking beautifully today and is really at its best served at the table throughout the meal.
