In 1945, the first Bernard Robert champagne was born. Created by Marie-Madeleine Don and her husband Bernard Robert from a family of red wine producers. Both were trained in the champagne production method and during this very difficult period harvested their first harvest in Champagne, resulting in 300 bottles being produced. The property covers an area of ​​approximately 30 hectares, located in 7 municipalities in the south of Champagne (BAR-SUR-AUBE, VOIGNY, ARRENTIÈRES, ARGENTOLLES, RIZAUCOURT, ROUVRES-LES-VIGNES, VILLENAUXE-LA-GRANDE). These hillsides are home to the four main grape varieties of Champagne: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc.

Tasting notes

Exclusively elaborated from Pinot Noir, this vintage Champagne is aged in oak barrels and is available as a limited edition (only a few hundred bottles by vintage), it fully expresses the estate. In the nose it is intense and pronouced by odours of dried and candied fruits. In the mouth it is elegant and corpulent, finding its balance in a perfect freshness. This vintage, presented in a silk-screen printed bottle pays tribute to the winegrowers of 1911, who revolted in order to keep their right to the appellation ‘Champagne’.

Food pairing

This balanced Champagne goes marvellously with an appetizer but equally accompanied by white meats, grilled ‘andouillette’ (a local chitterling sausage) or a bloomy rind cow’s cheese such as Chaource or Vacherin.
