Description

Cuvée VB 03 from Elemart Robion is a fruity, expressive champagne with a beautiful minerality on the palate. It's a champagne to be enjoyed with a cocktail party or as an accompaniment to a fine gourmet dish.

Cuvée VB 03 is a blend of 70% Pinot Meunier, 20% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir, grapes sourced exclusively from the Lhéry terroir in the Ardre Valley. The Elemart Robion vineyard is 100% converted to organic viticulture. It is mainly located on the Lhéry terroir, on sand, clay and limestone soils.

Cuvée VB 03 is based on the 2018 and 2017 harvests. Vinification was carried out in stainless steel tanks, while malolactic fermentation was blocked, enabling the wine to retain its characteristic Champagne freshness and to strike a balance with its greediness.

This champagne then spent nearly 3 years in the house cellars before being offered for tasting. The dosage is Extra Brut with 3g/L.

Cuvée VB 03 Elemart Robion has a pale gold color with deep reflections.

On the nose, this cuvée immediately evokes mineral, limestone notes, then evolves towards a touch of citrus (lemon, orange) and fruit.

On the palate, this champagne opens with a robe-like attack, then mid-palate reveals a silky texture that carries fruity aromas, as well as that distinctive limestone minerality. The finish is delicately iodized, vibrating for several seconds on the palate.

Cuvée VB 03 can be enjoyed as an aperitif, but also goes well with shellfish (prawns, lobster, etc.), or even white meat such as filet mignon of pork. It's also a wine that works very well with well-aged hard cheeses.
