Tasting Notes: This wine is pale yellow with golden reflections. Fine bubbles give off a delightful cream crown. The nose is light, elegant and full of sophistication, with aromas of hazelnut, praline, acacia honey, vanilla, dried apricots, chocolate and golden tobacco. The elegant palate continues the freshness of lemon zest and white fruit. Bubbles caress the minerality of this gourmet champagne.

A very impressive Champagne for this tricky vintage with awide spectrum of candied-citrus character in the nose. Ripe and creamy on thepalate, but also blessed with lively acidity that’s rare in 2011s. Playfulmid-palate with notes of white chocolate and hazelnut, then a long, chalkyfinish that reminds me of high-end Chablis. 100% pinot noir, disgorged inSeptember 2021 and released with 8 grams of dosage.
The Champagne region of France is divided into four sub-regions: Montagne de Reims, Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Côte des Blancs, Côte des Bars, Champagne Jacques Robin, a village on the Côte des Bars. Buxières-sur-Arce Buxières-sur-Arce belongs to the AOC production area. The Jacques Robin (Jacques Robin) brand was established in 1973, when Annie and Jacques injected the company into the company. life. From then on, Jacques Robin decided to plant vineyards on his own land.
Subsequently, each year the original vineyard has been continuously expanded. The company "Jacques Robin" decided in the mid-1980s to start producing champagne under its own name. Their efforts quickly paid off, and in 1988 they won a medal at the Bar Division competition on the banks of the Seine. In 1998, the children of Annie and Jacques completed their studies in viticulture and oenology, and the whole family is now united under the same creed to run "Quality Today for Jobs Tomorrow".
In 1973, then employees Anne, 18, and Jacques, 21, rolled up their sleeves and planted the first vines on the Sorbée plot. They are motivated and love the land, building Domaine Jacques Robin piece by piece. In the late 90s, diploma-holders Sébastien and Aude, nourished by the same passion, joined them. In a few years, Séverine will join her family on a champagne adventure.
The Champagne vineyards are divided into four regions. The northernmost region of Montagne de Reims produces Pinot Noir, which is strong and rich. Pinot Meunier is grown in the Vallée de la Marne, bringing its fruity aroma to rosé champagne. The Côte des Blancs vineyards, south of Épernay, have unique chalky soils that provide a breeding ground for the elegant Chardonnay. Further south, the Côte des Bar and its continental climate produce Pinot Noir, which is light on export.
