Les Pierres Robert 2019 Aÿ Grand Cru | Bottle 75cl

Description

Christian Gosset's Les Pierres Robert Aÿ Grand Cru 2019 is a racy, taut champagne with an assertive character.

This cuvée is made from Pinot Noir from a single parcel, "Les Pierres Robert", in the commune of Aÿ Grand Cru. This plot, planted in 1992, is located at the foot of the slopes, facing south, on a medium slope with chalky soil.

Vinification takes place entirely in oak barrels, as naturally as possible, without filtration or chilling. The wine is very lightly dosed at 1 g/L after disgorging in June 2023.

This cuvée is pale gold in color, with a fine, lively effervescence.

The nose is complex and seductive, with notes of pear and exotic fruit, enhanced by vanilla, aniseed, thyme and almond milk, followed by pastry aromas.

On the palate, the effervescence is invigorating, and the body is fluid, well-balanced by citrus-flavored acidity. After the mid-palate, the balance becomes warmer, more woody and salty.

The finish is very long, with a chalky feel and a hint of bitterness, fading to an iodized accent.

This Les Pierres Robert Aÿ Grand Cru 2019 Champagne, by Christian Gosset, is a perfect match for firm-fleshed dishes such as diced tuna, oysters with seaweed croutons, bonito or sea bream carpaccio, breaded shrimp or semi-dry goat's cheese.

This wine has superb ageing potential.
