André Robert Terre du Mesnil Grand Cru 2017

Le Mesnil-sur-Oger is the sacred grand cru of Chardonnay, the birthplace of Salon, Krug Clos du Mesnil and Les Chétillons de Pierre Péters, where the variety reveals its most uncompromising, elegant, deep and austere, mineral-limestone expression. The Robert family, now in its fifth generation represented by Claire Robert, cultivates 14 hectares of vineyards with total respect for the environment, of which 6.5 are located in Mesnil, next to the headquarters of this charming winery. The very low dosage, the malolactic lock and the meticulous use of wood in all the cuvées dictate the style of this precious and traditional Mesnil grower.

Wine:
100% Chardonnay from the best Grand Cru terroir in White Coast,  Le Mesnil sur Oger, where Krug and Salon make some of the world's finest champagnes. This special cuvée  includes the best plots in the region: Les Vaucherots, Les Coullemets du Midi, Les Finciarts Les Chétillons. The wine is made entirely in oak barrels, with a 10-month élevage on the lees and no malolactic fermentation. After bottling, the wine is aged for a further 4 years on the lees (sur lie) in the bottle. Final dosage of 2 g/l.
