Champagne Brut Nature 'Les Marnes Blanches' Jeaunaux Robin

The Champagne “Les Marnes Blanches” by the maison Jeaunaux Robin is a French sparkling wine that originates from Chardonnay vineyards located at the border between the Côte des Blancs and the Côte de Sézanne, within the Vallée du Petit Morin. It is a label endowed with an elegant mineral verve, which accompanies the tasting both during the olfactory analysis and in the gustatory one. Elegant and refined, it is the ideal bottle to pair with fish and shellfish dishes or with chicken and turkey dishes, cooked with light recipes.

The Champagne Brut Nature “Les Marnes Blanches” by Jeaunaux Robin comes to life from Chardonnay grapes, a variety cultivated in clay and chalky soils, characterized by the presence of flint. Among the rows, where the vines are about 40 years old, the work is carried out following organic farming practices, taking care to respect the varietal as much as possible. After soft pressing, the fermentation of the must occurs spontaneously thanks to the presence of indigenous yeasts, and it takes place in wood. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out. The refermentation, as dictated by the production principles of the Metodo Champenoise, takes place in the bottle, where the Champagne then remains to age on the lees for three years. After disgorgement, it is important to note that no liqueur d'expédition is added.

The “Les Marnes Blanches” Jeaunaux Robin develops in the glass with a straw yellow hue, crossed by a line of fine bubbles, endowed with a long persistence. Rich and generous is the olfactory profile, which makes one dream with herbaceous notes, more mineral effluvia, and hints of white-fleshed fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied, incisive on the sip thanks to a good dose of minerality, which refines the drink encouraging repetition. Only 1,000 bottles have been produced of this label: finding it is not at all simple, which is another reason not to miss this opportunity.
