Description

Champagne André Robert has deep family roots dating back to the 1800s in the vineyards of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Today, the estate is led by fifth-generation Claire Robert and her winemaker husband, Jean-Baptiste. The family owns 65 individual parcels across 14 hectares, with the majority located in the prestigious Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs.

The estate favours oak for primary fermentation, primarily using older 228L barrels. Non-vintage wines spend a minimum of three years on lees, while vintage bottlings are aged for at least six years. The wines offer powerful, intricate expressions that showcase the unique terroir of the Côte des Blancs, particularly the iconic Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
