Le Mesnil-sur-Oger is the sacred “grand cru” of Chardonnay, birthplace of Salon, Krug Clos du Mesnil and Les Chétillons de Pierre Péters, where the variety reveals its most inflexible mineral calcareous expression , elegant, profound and austere. The Robert family, now in the fifth generation represented by Claire Robert, cultivates 14 hectares of vineyards with total respect for the environment, 6.5 of which are right in Mesnil, next to the headquarters of the charming winery. The very low dosage, the malolactic blockage and the meticulous use of wood in all the cuvées dictate the style of this precious and traditional mesnilois “grower”.
Wine:
100% Chardonnay de terroir Grand Cru from the best of Côte des Blancs, Le Mesnil sur Oger, where Krug and Salon make some of the best champagnes in the world. This special cuvée includes their best portions from the region: Les Vaucherots, Les Coullemets du Midi, Les Finciarts Les Chétillons. The winemaking is done entirely in oak barrels, with a 10-month élevage with the lees and the malolactic is not done. After bottling, another 4 years of contact with the lees (sur lie) in the bottle. Final dosage of 2 g/l.
