Description
The Robert Champagne Estate is above all a family business. The ROBERT family have been cultivating vines for several generations.
Our vineyard is spread over 14 hectares, for the most part classified Grand Cru and Premier Cru plots.
We cultivate the 3 grape varieties : Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. But Chardonnay is the heart and soul of our estate and is the major share of all our blends. The Chardonnay is a fragile and delicate plant but contributes flowery, citric and mineral overtones to our blends making for elegant and racy wines.
Each year we create a new vintage, just like a painter creating a new painting.
« The primary colour of my paintings is the Chardonnay wine bringing elegance, freshness and race to our champagnes. I then add spots, dashes of different colours thanks to Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in addition to blending the 6 different plots that we exploit. Each plot and each grape variety adds character and originality to the final work of art».
Each painting is unique and different but all reflect the same way of thinking of the ROBERT family.
We produce our own grapes on our own plots of land, each bearing a name, an identity and a family history. In our cellars we follow the complete life cycle of our champagnes; from birth to full accomplishment. They are our children requiring care and attention, causing occasional anxiety but above all procuring enormous amounts of pleasure.
We are independant wine-farmers. Belonging to this professional organization implies a know-how and high level of respect in carrying out authentic wine-production with respect to tradition and healthy practice.
The ”Côte des Blancs” (the Limestone Hills), and more precisely the village of Mesnil sur Oger, is a chalky cliff perpendicular the Mountain of Reims. This area, south of Epernay, owes its complexity to the mosaic of small plots conducive to optimal expression of the Chardonnay grape. Limestone appears here and there on the surface forming an invaluable underground water and heat reserve.
Poor soil, ever-present limestone, vineyards located on the hill slopes make Mesnil sur Oger Grand Cru champagnes the most appreciated of the Côte des Blancs region.
A great champagne can only be made with high-quality grapes. And high-quality grapes go hand in hand with a high-quality terroir.
Our champagnes are the mirror image of our terroir and it is our duty to respect this. We live alongside nature – its biodiversity, the soil, the water. Our joining the HVE certification (High Environmental Value) is an added-value factor in our commitment to protecting natural ressources.
