The Dhondt family have worked with a perpetual reserve since they began estate bottling in 1986. After drawing off 30% of his reserves for the new year’s tirage, Adrien replenishes the loss with wine kept back from the new vintage and racks the resulting blend to barrel—accompanied by the fresh lees of the latest vintage—in May. Come harvest time, when empty barrels are needed, the perpetual reserve is returned to tank. Each year, the process is repeated, ensuring the domaine’s barrels are never empty.

100% Cramant Grand Cru Chardonnay. It is vinified in stainless steel tank. Dosage is between 3g/l to 4g/l. Adrien plans on vinifying this cuvée in barrel in the near future.

Made of two lieux-dits that bring different perspectives of the village :
Les Longues Verges - early ripening site that produces deep, concentrated wines
La Garenne * was historically a garden in the village with atypical sandy soils in the heart of the village
