Elemart Robion

Les Monets 2017 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Cuvée Les Monets 2017 from Elemart Robion is a very fruity champagne that can be served as an aperitif, but especially at the table.

This champagne is made from Pinot Meunier grapes from the Lhéry terroir in the Ardre Valley. The Les Monets parcel has limestone soil, giving the grapes superb minerality. Its south-western exposure brings ripeness to the grapes. The result is Pinots Meuniers with superb balance.

These grapes were then vinified in stainless steel tanks, malolactic fermentation was carried out and the wine was aged on lees before bottling in May 2018.

During cellar ageing, the bottles are handled regularly. This consists in stirring the bottles to put the lees back into suspension and thus develop the wine's texture and aromas.

The bottles of Monets 2017 were disgorged in May 2021, and dosed with Extra Brut (2.5g/L).

This cuvée from Elemart Robion is pale gold in color with fine bubbles.

The first nose reveals notes of orange blossom, tangerine, peach, almond and apricot. The second nose reveals notes of iodine, quince, fresh mirabelle plum and wild herbs.

On the palate, the wine is supple and fresh, with a creamy effervescence. This cuvée brings out all the purity and balance of Pinot Meunier, between the pulpy richness of fleshy fruit and vibrant freshness.

The slender finish is clean, with remarkably persistent aromas of pineapple, orange and passion fruit.

Elemart Robion Cuvée Les Monets 2017 can be served as an aperitif or with sweet curried shrimp, roast duck fillet or peach mousse and green tea sorbet.
