LES HORIZONS 2020 (Champagne André ROBERT)

PLANTING DATE: N/A.

LOCATION: Blend of:

• two Premier Cru plots: Étréchy 1er Cru and Cuis 1er Cru.
  
  
  • Étréchy 1er Cru consists of old vines with South and South-West exposure. The soils are cold and very poor, leading to a late ripening of the grapes which brings precious tension to the wines.
    
    
  • Cuis 1er Cru consists of young vines with mostly Northern exposure. The soils are also cold, grape ripening is late, and their acidity level is high.
    
    
• a plot located in Mesnil-sur-Oger: Lisse en Champagne.

EXPOSURE: South; South-West; North.

SOILS: composed of CAMPANIAN (Upper Cretaceous) chalk and its weathered byproducts (chalk gravel). Its very pure chalk content and natural porosity provide it with a water retention capacity that is highly beneficial for the vines.

"Les Horizons champagne is intended to be representative of the diversity of the André Robert estate terroirs, and the profile of its soils and subsoils; it forms an overview of the plots, hence its name. A successful gamble, as this wine possesses a strong identity: mineral, almost crystalline, it surprises with its suppleness and delicate mouthfeel. It is a wonderful discovery that will please lovers of vibrant champagnes without excessive tension."
