Champagne André Robert Blanc de Blancs Les Jardins du Mesnil Brut Nature Grand Cru NV

“Beautifully pure, precise, and laser-focused, this is a stunning sparkling wine. It has gorgeous apple, pear, and black truffle notes and slivered almonds with chalky minerality and ginger on the finish.. It is full-bodied and richly layered, which is surprising given the 0g/L dosage. Some 40% of reserve wine from 2013 was blended, layering in autolytic notes, with no malolactic fermentation. This is a stunning Champagne from Le Mesnil sur Oger from two lieux-dits Les Musettes and Les Hauts d'aillerand. This is very special. 100% Chardonnay.”

“A breathtaking, full-bodied Champagne, crafted entirely from Chardonnay sourced from the Les Musettes and Les Hauts d’Aillerand lieux-dits. A surge of ripe golden plum and yellow apple leads the way, followed by hints of earthy porcini mushroom and crushed almonds, all wrapped in a core of chalky minerality and a flicker of candied ginger on the finish. Despite undergoing no malolactic fermentation and having a zero-dosage profile, this wine boasts remarkable silken depth and textural richness, likely enhanced by the 40% reserve wine from the 2013 vintage. Its autolytic character lingers, elevating the balance of tension and opulence.”
