Jeaunaux-Robin Champagne Grande Tradition Extra Brut n.v.




An honest champagne, coming from this small maison of rm, in biodynamic conversion at Talus-Saint-Prix, in the Sézannais region, about 30 km. south-west of Epernay.

It is a blanc d'assemblage - 60 Pinot Meunier, 30 Pinot Noir and 10 Chardonnay - pulled in about six thousand bottles, vineyards 40 years old, vinification by steel, vitrified cement and fûts de chêne, three years on the lees.

A gently fresh nose of vanilla and brioche, floral cues, hints of citrus and honey, discreet mineral step.

The olfactory gait you try it again on the palate, confirming freshness and droiture. The perlage is not so thin, for sips offering refreshing lemon and grapefruit sensations, well integrated into an advanced mineral weave.
Contagious drink, by fleeting persistence, with slight echoes of pastry.

Simple, but correct, even in the (small) price.
