Who: Andre Robert

What: Chardonnay

From particular single parcels, Terre du Mesnil comes from some of the best within Le Mesnil sur Oger such as Les Chétillons and Les Coullemets du Midi. Yields are kept very low, at around half the region’s average to allow fully ripe & powerful fruit. Oak aged, with battonage and without malolactic, before going to bottle. A very limited production.

Description

Champagne Andre Robert’s family history dates back to the 1800’s in amongst the vines of Le Mesnil sur Oger, and is now helmed by 5th generation Claire Robert, and her husband Jean-Baptiste. The family is blessed with a suite of 65 individual parcels, with the vast majority being Grand Cru Côte des Blancs. Oak is favoured for primary fermentation, before going to bottle where it spends at least 3 years on lees. 

 

The wines present powerful & detailed expressions that highlight the nuances of the terroir of the Côte des Blancs. Resting in the cellars are a number of cuvees that prove that this is an estate driven to push the boundaries
