"A lovely aperitif"

“The nose reveals a creamy, delicate, powdery aroma of fresh almonds and Piedmont hazelnuts. That’s all it takes to win us over, especially since the bubbles are light and crisp, giving the palate a perfect aperitif character with a finish of precisely balanced white floral notes and a hint of candied ginger.” (The Gault & Millau Guide 2023)

About the wine:

The nose reveals a creamy, delicate, powdery aroma of fresh almonds and Piedmont hazelnuts. That’s all it takes to win us over, especially since the bubbles are light and crisp, giving the palate a perfect aperitif character with a finish featuring a precisely balanced white floral note and a hint of candied ginger.

About the estate:

It was in Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, that Hubert Robert (grandfather of the current owner) founded the first cooperative of winemakers in the 1930s to press and vinify their harvest together. In 1960, André Robert purchased the current estate, which features 19th-century chalk cellars. Chardonnay is the heart and soul of the estate; the wines are aged in barrels on their lees with regular stirring (bâtonnage) and bottled late. A collection of old vintages is available.
