Champagne André Robert Blanc de Blancs Les Horizons Extra Brut NV

“Run by husband-wife duo Claire Robert and Jean-Baptiste Denizart, with oyster shell minerality, nutty nuances and citrus peel with flinty notes. The palate is like a fine white Burgundy with layers of crunchy yellow apple and pear, with a long floral finish and chalky minerals. Fantastic balance of richness with good acid tension.”

“The NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs Les Horizons Extra Brut is a shimmering straw/yellow color and is fresh with pure aromas of lemon, ripe apples, wet stone, saline, and fresh flowers. Medium-bodied, it offers a refreshing feel in the range, as its oak presence here is more about texture than imparting aromas and flavors to the wine, offering refreshing clarity. The mousse is refined and lively, and this spritely effort is likely going to show its best over the next 8-10 years.”
