Chardonnay

The Terre du Mesnil Champagne from Andre Robert is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown exclusively in the Grand Cru area of Le Mesnil sur Oger. Fermentaion takes place in oak barrels where the wine rests for 10 months with lees stirring, promoting texture and richness.  Matured in bottle for a minimum of 4 years prior to disgorging and release.  Wonderfully complex, elegant and classy, the oak influence is obvious yet not overbearing, and integrates beautifully with the ripe, almost exotic fruit and perfectly poised acidity.  This is a Champagne for those who love complexity.
