TERRE DU MESNIL 2018 GRAND CRU (Champagne André ROBERT)

PLANTING DATE: N/A.

LOCATION: blend of the plots Les Finciarts, Les Coullemets du Midi, Les Vaucherots, and Les Chétillons, where the vines produce very low yields. They produce grapes with high acidity and low pH, allowing for a late harvest at full phenological maturity.

EXPOSURE: N/A.

SOILS: CAMPANIAN (Upper Cretaceous) chalk and its weathered byproducts (chalk gravel). Very pure, with 90% calcium carbonate content and 40% porosity: its high water-retention capacity is a major asset for the vines. Chardonnay produces elegant wines marked by beautiful aromatic persistence here.

"This is THE quintessential Champagne from Maison André Robert. Unique in its kind, it bears the estate's signature regardless of the vintage and is characterized by lovely truffle aromas that intensify over time. The 2018 vintage is endowed with lovely minerality, where notes of lemon and almond play with still-shy truffle flavors. Without excessive sharpness, this Champagne is of great finesse. Not to be missed!"
