Description

Maison Elemart-Robion's Petit Meslier 2019 is an exceptional cuvée featuring a rare and forgotten grape variety: Petit Meslier. This 2019 vintage reveals the pure expression of the Lhéry terroir.

How Champagne Petit Meslier 2019 is made

Made exclusively from Petit Meslier, a historic Champagne variety renowned for its freshness and natural acidity, this 2019 vintage is the fruit of precise, meticulous work.

The grapes are hand-picked from the Les Vieilles Vignes plot, located in Lhéry, in the Ardre Valley. Its soil, composed of limestone from the Middle Lutetian period, and its south-western exposure favor slow, optimal ripening. Cultivated using organic viticulture methods, this parcel gives the wine great mineral tension and complexity.

Vinification takes place in stainless-steel vats, followed by malolactic fermentation, which brings roundness and balance. Aging continues for 7 months on the lees in oak barrels, allowing the wine to gain in aromatic richness. Bottled in May 2020, this champagne benefits from long ageing on laths before disgorging in May 2023. True to its spirit of purity, it is made with no added sugar at disgorgement(zero dosage), to fully express its unique character.

The 2019 Champagne vintage was marked by favorable climatic conditions, with a hot, dry summer that enabled the grapes to reach perfect ripeness. This vintage stands out for its dazzling freshness, mineral tension and rich aromatic palette, making it a cuvée cut out for ageing.
