Andre Robert Brut Bdb Les Jardins Du Mesnil G Cru
| Description: | Importer's Notes -"100% Chardonnay. Dosage 8 to 9g/L. Blend of 2009 and 2010 vintages. Located in the CĂ´te des Blancs, Bertrand Robert's family's plots sit on some of the most prized terroir in the world, much of it in the Grand Cru territory of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. Aromas of yeast, apple, walnut and fresh bread complemented by hints of white flowers and acacia. Complex, subtle and pure, offering precise minerality backed by citrus, stone fruit, brioche and ginger flavors. Finishes long and with a chalky texture. The Robert family has been in the Champagne growing business for well over a century, but it wasn't until 1961 that AndrĂŠ Robert established the family's own estate brand and production cellars. In 1997 AndrĂŠ's son Bertrand took over management of the operation. Today he farms some 27 acres split into dozens of tiny garden sized parcels. His vines average between 25-30 years of age with the lion's share being Chardonnay planted in the Le Mesnil cru. Bertrand practices Viticulture RaisonnĂŠe, a protocol that emphasizes natural measures to control pests and rot with chemical treatments used only as a last resort. So once again, as we have seen with other top growerproducers, the quality of this Champagne is a natural outgrowth of family pride combined with generations of local knowledge along with a deep reverence for the land. |
